Van Gogh used all of the elements of art in “Starry Night”, but some call more attention to themselves than others. Line, for example is a prominent feature in this piece. Form, however must be searched for. See it? It’s hidden in the small houses tucked away under the night sky. I notice that color also dominates this piece, with strokes of blue littering the scene, with a beautiful contrast of yellow to represent stars. I see many organic shapes with the dark figure of the cypress tree, and…

conversation a couple of weeks back with a friend in the entertainment business about the current state of late night comedy. We both grew up during the age of Jay Leno and David Letterman. For the most part we discussed why Leno always beat Letterman in the ratings and part of the reason we discussed was the fact that Leno appealed more to the classical late night audience. If you remember late night during those days the structure of a show was pretty simple. 1. Opening Monologue 2. Comedy…

The use of line is used widely through one of his most famous pieces, The Starry Night. Referred to as “the visible path of a moving point (Understanding Visual Artforms in Our World, Anderson and Carson, 2014, pg.30)”, line defines every visible object in the night depicted in the painting. In deep examination, I notice that the sky is completely composed of wavy lines. As said in the text, lines are sometimes used to bring out a certain emotion.
