The painting is an illustration of the night sky with distorted whirling strokes. Expressing his distorted view of the reality.

The painting has  lines of hills, mountains, and sky. The contrasting blues and yellow , large flames and trees are created through thick brushstrokes. this potrays the troubled state of mind of the artist , as he's painted a delusional reality.

The masterpiece by Van Gogh, depicts the Night Sky brimming with clouds, shiny stars and bright moon. The village in the background is painted with relatively dark colors but the windows shown in the village itself, for me, creates a sense of comfort.

Van Gogh used a technique called “impasto” not to just add dimension for the figures in the painting but to also add emotion and movement; this “movement” is shown in the swirling clouds.

What do you see?  What do you think about Van Gogh's technique? Why does he adopt it?

In the painting, I see an abstraction of Van Gogh's state of mind. The technique used distorts the image that is being created through the use of sharp strokes of colour (distortion=delusion). There is also a stark contrast in colours used (yellow tones vs. black and blue tones), along with chaotic elements (seven suns and a twirly castle) that show his turbulent mental state (he does not have a constant emotion?).

A painting of the night sky in an abstract style due to the expression of the sky in a distorted manner. The exaggeration of the sky through short brush strokes shows how Van Gogh views the world as a distorted version of reality. The colours are not blended and each stroke is distinct, depicting the night sky and the world as a collage of many different ideas. Van Gogh adopts this style as he is expressing his own delusional state of mind.

Van Gogh's painting Starry Night shows the view of the city in an abstract form during the sunrise. He has used different shades of blue and yellow to express himself.

I see an abstract painting, which uses excessive colours in order to showcases a distorted and heightened image. The use of exaggerated images and colours also allows us to understand the mindset of the painter, as hit is visible that he is trying to paint an image of a world, which is a departure of the realistic image. The author might be using this stylisation, in order to convey his emotions or his state of mind, which could be as distorted as the image.

Van Gogh's Painting, Starry Night, shows the artist's swift brush strokes of blue swirling in the portrayal of the night sky. However, the artistic portrayal is fictional, not realistic. The painting exaggerates the paint strokes and saturation of colors, which further moves the painting away from the realistic nature. The painting is ultimately a perception from the mind of the Van Gogh, whose distortion of reality can be interpreted from the creation of the painting.

The painting is a variety of colours showing the night sky with the view of the city. The painting has a lot of twirls. It may also be his self expression of his mental state. Van Gogh adopts the technique called impasto, where paint is laid on an area of surface in very thick layers. This causes brush and paining-knife strokes to be clearly visible.

Van Gogh's Starry Night showcases various distinct styles, and his swift strokes, expressing a possible deformed picture of a view from his asylum room. The painting is exaggerated, as seen through the brush strokes. The painting is a distorted image of reality.

What I see is an abstract painting, showing the night sky with a view of the city. The type of painting looks to be an oil painting, which means that the colors are in more depth and are more flexible. The reason Van Gogh might adopt that technique is to be able to create patterns due to the color's flexibility, making it seem less realistic, and more dreamy. This takes away from realistic views in order to maybe distract people from the real life, and sooth them, especially with the dark and cool color such as blue, which is one the more prominent colors in the pallette.

Van Gogh's A Starry Night illustrates a night sky with a town present. He uses small brush strokes in order to express the real world through the lens of his eyes. The colours used represent his depiction of reality as he was colour blind as well. It may also be his self expression of his mental state.  He painted his painting during his time in the asylum, the painting thus illustrates his delusional state of mind.

Van Gogh's painting starry starry nights is a view from Van Gogh's window in the mental asylum. The painting illustrates dark colours showcasing what he sees through his mental mind and the turbulence in his mind which is represented through the unusual strokes in the painting
. This delusion of this painting being distorted representation of reality.

What do you see?
A painting which has a lot of twirls, it also shows a distorted figure of a what i suppose is a castle with a medieval town in the background.

What do you think about Van Gogh's technique?
It is clearly visible in the painting that the technique used is oil painting which has been layered on repeatedly. I believe that the painting may have been something else in the start but was then changed into the scenery now visible.

Why does he adopt it?
It is a technique that can hide the previously made work by putting emphasis on the clearly shown work which has been given a width.

The painting is an almost abstract piece of art which portrays a view at dusk or dawn, showing the dark night with big stars and a bright moon.

In this painting, I can see that the style used seems very dreamy. Expressions have been showcased in a very unreal manner. The rather sharp strokes across the piece to me looks like there was sudden emergence of thoughts. The bright background is like a juxtaposition of ideas or maybe even the life of the artist. The wave like skies mimic the flow of water, which can be a symbol of passing time. But also the reflection of deep thoughts. Van Gough wasn't the only one who used such a style to convey his emotions;  The Scream by Edvard Munch. Similar styles may portray emotions in various perspectives. Moreover, the bright sun and sparkly stars to me seem like a symbol of hope amidst the darkness.

In this painting I see a vivid night sky in the backdrop - with a town visible at the bottom. This can be considered an example of expressionism due to the emphasis on bright colours (contrast between different shades of blue and yellow), the strong strokes (the colours are not blended - very particular brush stroke of small repetitive lines). The interpretation of the painting is subjective, but to me it comes across as an otherwordly scene which seems magical or perhaps to others even dreamy.

According to me, Van Gogh sets the painting in a time on night, as it said that he painted this when he was still in his mental asylum room. Each brush stroke is distinguished since the colours are not blended, which makes the sky and stars in the painting the centre of attraction. The twirls in the middle represent Van Gogh not using a single stroke technique therefore portraying something dreamy

The Van Gogh masterpiece is a masterful and gorgeous depiction of the night sky with whirling strokes of paint. The colour scheme of the painting is more evidently of the colder variety with blues and blacks however, the little specks of yellow and gold provide a soothing overall visual of the painting. One can easily identify that this painting is an example of expressionism as the painting's contours seem to convey emotion. The thickness of the layers of paint and the strong contrast between colours limns out an interpretation that the painting depicts what a hopeful person dreams and wishes for.

In the painting, I see a night sky with many stars present. There is also a town present in the bottom of the painting.
The technique that Van Gogh used is called impasto.

The scene in this painting is set during the night. The dimness in the lighting reflects with the illness Van Gogh had to overcome during his time. There is a strange of the colours in the painting. Van Gogh had to suffer lead poisoning/brain disease which explains this strange use of colours. In other words, this painting is all about Van Gogh's emotions and what he was feeling like in his time.

I see in the painting a vast variety of colors alongside a number of whirls which suggests a possible interpretation of a night within Van Gogh's mind. He represents 'night' as clear and breezy which can evidently be seen by the whirls in the painting possibly representing winds blowing and stars in the sky which suggest a clear sky. Van Gogh adopts the technique called impasto, where paint is laid on an area of surface in very thick layers. This causes brush and paining-knife strokes to be clearly visible.

I see a painting expressing its view of the sky at night. The painting shows that Van Gogh had mixed feelings and expressions shown by the shades of different colours. The painting shows shows a variety of perspectives as to some it shows the vivid bright sky or the suffering Van Gogh went through
