Description

• What do you see in the artwork?

- In the artwork, I can see that there is an expressive


night sky with a small village
below, hills at the right, and a large curvy tree at the left portion.
• Describe each of the things seen in the artwork.

- There is an expressive night sky designed with blue swirls, a glowing


yellow crescent moon, and radiating stars. Straight controlled lines
make up the small cottages of the village below. The village, together with
the hills, are peaceful in comparison to the dramatic night sky. The curvy tree is
painted the same way as the night sky with curves and lines, which means that they
are in sync.

Analysis

• What elements of arts were used by the artists?

- All elements of arts The artist used a large concentration of lines in the artwork, especially in the
sky. These lines were also used to add outlines for the hills and the houses, and the tree. The
artist also used spaces for the stars, crescent moon, and for the rest of the blue swirls. The
objects in the sky were in vertical placement. Value and color were also added to manipulate
the feelings and emotions of the artwork through the colors.

• Which among the principles of design were used by the artist? Did he use unity and variety, repetition
and rhythm, balance, contrast, scale and proportion or emphasis, and subordination?

- The artist used also more principles of designs to polish the artwork. Unity and variety is seen as
through all the object and general appearance of the artwork unifies into one idea, a starry
night. Emphasis and subordination is also used in the night sky. At first glance, the night sky is
already emphasized in the general picture.

Interpretation

• What do you think does Vincent Van Gogh want to imply in his artwork?

- I think that the Starry Night is absolutely seen as having a great emotional depth. I think that his
artwork implies loneliness or achieving peace as we look through the quietness of his artwork.
From the village to the night sky, we can feel that he also implies loneliness in this vast world.
However, in the midst of the loneliness, with shining stars filling the sky there is
always light to guide you which also depicts hope.
- • Is the title "Starry Night" appropriate to the image? Why?
- Yes, I think that the title is appropriate to the image because starry means full of or lit by stars.
And the artist used the best title for his artwork because we can see that there are several stars
radiating in the night sky with a crescent moon.
Judgement

• Is this piece of artwork worthy of appreciation? Why? Why not?

- The Starry Night is based on Van Gogh’s direct observations as well as


his imagination, memories, and emotions. He poured all his heart and
mind in the making of his artwork. His efforts are enough to make his
artwork worthy of appreciation. Furthermore, the general picture and
message of the piece with its unique brush strokes and elements made it
more appealing and special.
• How is Vincent Van Gogh as an artist?

- Vincent van Gogh was a one-of-a-kind artist who worked with a sense of purpose that
frequently caused him stress. He was known for his bold, dramatic brush strokes, which
expressed emotion and gave his works a sense of movement. The great artist, who often
reflected on his own life through his art, helped lay the foundation for modern art. His unique
techniques can be seen in his famous artwork “Starry Night”
