1. Explain why The Starry Night is such a famous painting. If you think it should not be so popular, explain why. (1-2 ¶s) The Starry Night, by Vincent van Gogh, is a famous painting because he is using abstract art which makes it look different from other paintings. The painting is interesting because there’s a tree or giant bush object to the left of the picture, a town with rolling hills and the night sky. The night sky is very bright with the yellow crescent moon, the bright stars and the…

classic style diner after midnight I presume because of the empty streets and closed shops around the diner. It displays the night sky in contrast to the brightly light interior of the old “mom and pops” style diner. Noticeable forms in this work of art include the wooden counter, which matches the surrounding stools, metal coffee containers in the aft, green trim around the windows, which curve at the corner. Also, well light walls, a small yellow door that leads into kitchen, the blonde haired…

Two pieces of art that I chose to compare and contrast would be, “Starry Night”, by Vincent Van Gogh and, “Road to Happiness”, by Victor Figol. These two paintings share characteristics and qualities that are alike and that differ. “Starry Night”, by Vincent Van Gogh, is a post-impressionist oil painting that was finished in 1889. This piece of art displays the beautiful night sky out of a window at an asylum where Vincent Van Gogh spent the last of his later life. He was able to spend…

of the vehicle was Denver, Colorado. More specifically they were going to a Denver Broncos football game between the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders. I was in the vehicle with my Mom, Dad, and some family friends whose names were Martin and Michelle. We were trying not to let the monotonous drive dwell on our spirits as we told jokes, listened to the radio and took the occasional nap. As we approached Denver my excitement was continuing to build. When we finally got to Denver, after what…

I live in a bowl full of peas, literally I am surround full of hills that metaphorically always reminded me of a bowl. The San Fernando Valley was always filled with peas which were people that generally are the same but not as exact; a big chucky of the population were all Hispanic but not all were the same. In a bowl of peas you would receive whether the good nice evergreen round pea or get the one everyone always threw out just because it look a little rotten or just a strange dark, brownish…

The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh is a traditional symbol of the Post-Impressionist movement. It depicts a landscape that is flushed with luminescent stars, swirling clouds and a radiant crescent moon. The composition of The Starry Night is characterized by exaggerated and surrealistic brushstrokes. For example, interwoven lines are featured in lieu of a silhouette. Contoured shadows are also highlighted to convey the emotional state of Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh features precisely…

In fact, to this day, my friends would describe me as being a very social and balanced person. I love to organize events, read, run, watch movies and love to try new foods. I attend the Seattle Opera and as many Seattle Art Museum events as I can find. I love Seattle. I love the diverse population, foods and landscape. And from time to time, I attend ‘Christ Our Hope’ church as a way to give thanks and to donate to help those in need. Yet, at work, my co-workers will tell…
