To Create or to Not Create When I look back at the different periods of art, there are some that I admire. In those periods, I find artwork that is astonishing both in size and in artistic ability. I believe that I could have created Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh in 1889, because it is a piece that I enjoy to look at. I feel as though it speaks to me, and portrays somethings that I feel.

The man has a beard, and the way his robes are draped over his body makes them look real. This man is holding a folder of some type with the left hand, while the right hand is at his side. He is standing with all of the weight on his right
