Plus, the extreme heavy brushstrokes of the blue sky basically to visualise his inner impressions, and revealed the true colour of himself.

When compared to Van Gogh's "Wheat Field with Crows",the technique employed is the same where oil paints are squeezed out in thick ribbons right out onto the canvas.The dark tree,or the "Cypress tree" as it's called symbolises death.The stars represent the afterlife of humans and the brightest star in the sky,which is Venus,symbolises love.In this way,we can picture that Van Gogh,who was a very troubled man at mind and at heart,glorified death in his painting and was waiting for his Judgement Day,in order to rest in peace.Pioneers of the Post-Impressionism art movement believe that colours and brushstrokes are a medium of expressing emotions.Methods employed are such as Van Gogh himself,who squeezed paint right out of the tubes in thick ribbons right onto the canvas and divisionism,where the color wheel is used to create a series of dots for a picture.Wild brushstrokes also seems to be a trademark of the Post-Impressionism movement.The Post -Impressionists seem to believe that colour is a very expressive medium for emotions,and this can be felt through their paintings.]]> 2017-07-11 08:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_wono/75kjzvxnts7e/wish/178456167 Luqman 1171101802 https://padlet.com/megan_wono/75kjzvxnts7e/wish/178456259 The artwork tittle is the starry night that is painted by Vincent Van Gogh.

He used oil on canvas to make this painting. Furthermore, his bold and swirling brush strokes gives the impression that the painting is constantly moving. His consistency in his technique also adds more depth and texture to his painting. In addition, The Starry Night is based on several sketches made on paper with ink and charcoal. Eventually, he would make new and improved paintings based on previous versions. in 15 of the 21 versions, cypress trees are visible. This artwork is commonly regarded as "Early Post-Impressionism" by critiques. While in Paris, he made contact with the ideas and innovations of Paul Gauguin and Camille Pissarro. They wanted to discover new ways to paint when the themes and techniques of Impressionism were said to be "repetitive and limitating"]]> 2017-07-11 08:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_wono/75kjzvxnts7e/wish/178457581 Aina Marlisa 1171101744 https://padlet.com/megan_wono/75kjzvxnts7e/wish/178458617

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh painted in 1889

The subject matter is the beautiful night sky he captured, the cypress tree that represents death and the stars symbolises the afterlife and so when put together, it seems as if he is trying to say that he looks forward to the afterlife. The closest and brightest in the painting is Venus which stands for love which would translate to Vincent wanting to find love and hope to achieve so in the afterlife.

The application of the paint on the canvas was thick and this was called Impasto. The paint is laid on so thickly until the texture of the brush strokes are very visible. The brush strokes are also very short and seemed to be done with so much force and energy. The painting is done by oil on canvas.

This painting is know to be a direct depiction of Van Gogh's emotions, memories and imagination. He tried to set his thoughts and emotions free and through the medium of painting. The Starry Night is the only painting that is nocturne from his series of paintings that he did from his asylum window. Vincent Van Gogh was mentally unstable and eventually killed himself. His mental sickness resulted in self-mutilation by cutting his left ear and this led to him to admit himself into an asylum. He not only painted cypresses in The Starry Night but also in another painting notably Wheat Field with Cypresseswhich indicated that the thought of death played in his mind during that time.

The art movement is Post - Impressionism and it is significant in my opinion for the public during that time to expand their views on art and it is significant for the artists to express their feelings, views and thoughts. This painting is a good example of an artist trying to express what he is going through emotionally and it symbolises that art (any form of art) is a good medium to set free bottled up emotions.

This painting shows the brimming with whirling clouds, shining stars, and a bright crescent moon. The dark spires in the foreground are cypress trees, which most often associated with cemeteries and death. It looks like van gogh try to explain the afterlife .And the planet venus shown in the back, explain that he will found love in afterlife realm. The technique that Van Gogh use is thick application of paint on canvas in this painting. Plus, this painting was made on Vincent Gogh asylum window. Furthermore, some of Van Gogh personal experiences is he first began painting in the age of 24 and he used peasants as models. He later paint flowers, landscapes and himself, mostly because he was too poor to pay the models. Last but not least, the artwork movement of this drawing is post impressionism. 20th century artist including van gogh reacted against the naturalism of the impressionists to explore color, line, and form, and the emotional response of the artist.
