Starry Night
This is a famous painting, can you tell me who? Here is a hint this painting was created in Saint-Rémy, France in June, 1889. The artist is named Vincent Van Gough. One of the many reasons this is the most loved painting in the world is becuase of the way the brush strokes are on the canvas, he painted with oil paints on a blank canvas. Gough got this idea for this painting while he was staying in Aries, a french kingdom, looking out the window. He first created a pen sketch of this peice and then used oil paints to make the orignal painting.
This is my favorite piece of work because of how he made the colors mixed with each oher and how he used mostly cool colors and a little of warm. What does this painting mean to you? What's your opion? Tell me please it might have a impact on how I see things different from you.

Hello again,
ReplyDeleteVan Gogh is also one of my favorite artists. I love his use of color, texture, and line. He contrasts the cold with accents of warm and also has multiple analagous colors within the shapes.
