Starry_Night

Starry Night “The Starry Night,” by Vincent Van Gogh is an example of an expressionist’s perspective of an unusual, chaotic, star-studded night, above a small town located in the middle of a hilly landscape. At the bottom left of the painting, pressed up close, there is a dark, flame-like, tree that twists upwards into the sky, almost as if to divide the heavens. In the center of town, there is church that stands out from any of the other structures. The top steeple just barely pierces the horizon like a tiny needle, with the vastness of the rolling sky. Many artists have different definitions for the word line. It can be said to be a continuous mark made by a pencil, or a brush applied to a surface that is used to define a shape or represent a contour. Lines can be drawn in numerous different ways also. A few of the different ways a line can be drawn are thick or thin, light or dark, straight or curved, heavy or dark, and slow and fast. With these different drawing techniques, artists can evoke a certain emotion or present a certain mood about a painting.
