Eugane Henri Paul Gauguin , known as Paul Gauguin was born in Paris, France on June 7 1848 and died May 8 1903 in Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.

At the age of seventeen he enlisted in the merchant marine and later became a successful stockbrocker. Gauguin's hobby was painting, which he pursued enthusiastically in his free time.

By 1884, Gauguin, decided to give up business and family, devoting himself entirely to painting. From 1891 he lived and worked in Tahiti and elsewhere in French Polynesia. Gauguin arrived in Polynesia to find the authenticity of its daily life and its culture, pervceiving the South Pacific as a land of beautiful and strong people, who were unspoiled by Western civilization. He tried to express his feelings through shapes and colors, moving away from the more European accepted styles of painting.




The vogue for Gauguin's work started soon after his death. Gauguin paintings are rarely offered for sale; their price may be as high as $39.2 million US dollars.

Gauguin is today regarded today as a highly influential founder of modern art.






Gauguin enjoyed using bright and bold areas of color in his paintings done on the Pacific Islands. He painted many scenes from daily life, as seen in the above painting titled, Still Life with Teapot and Fruit (1896)





For all children up to 16 years of age.
~ I've been asked - and happy to include 16 year olds in our challenge ~

Good Evening

I would like to participate for my teammates.

Thank you!

[Nif]

I would LOVE to do this challenge with my niece. I just want to check, do we have to use the provided links for colouring pages?

"For anyone not wishing to have kids draw their own picture.........

My little sweetie has tons of colouring books and there are some sites that are great to get pictures from.

Thanks!

Hi Nif

You can use any sites or coloring books

I was just making some suggestions to help out for kids that didn't wish to draw their own fruits or dont have scanning/upload access

My DD (14) will be home June 20th and I'm going to sign her up for this challenge because I think she'd enjoy it. ( I can hear her now...."Gee, THANKS Mom. MORE HOMEWORK")

[Boomette]

My son of 5 years old will do it Yesterday he chose 3 coloring pages He's so happy to do that.

[Random Rachel]

My son painted "the kitchen counter with cucumbers on it." When I told him that it didn't look like the kitchen counter with cucumbers, he told me he really had fun using all the colors just like the Gauguin paintings we looked at. I hope that is ok?

[**Jubes**]

It does look nice and bright like the Gauguins:D
