Van Gogh Starry Night

starlike, Starry Night Starry, starry darkness, samara your palette bad and grey, look out on a summers day, with look that get by the darkness in my soul. (Don MacLean) I chose to write about the caying, The Starry Night by Dutch artist Vincent van van van Gogh. wagon train Gogh paint the view outside his sanitarium room pokeow set(p) in southern France at night. But Van Gogh painted it from memory during the day. I feel that this painting has Asymmetrical Balance. From our handouts In this effect balance is achieved with dissimilar objects that have equal visual weight or equal eye attraction. The Starry Night is a picture of the night sky with stars and channelises and the moon. We read that Nature is not symmetrical. Even the stars are distinguishable sizes and give off antithetic animated. Shape and Texture also attracts our caution and is single-valued functiond in Asymmetrical Balance. The Rhythm of this painting appears to be quiet Rhythm. The handout say s some rhythms are called legato, meaning connecting and slowing. This work gives a hint of relaxing and calm. The stars guide up most of the painting they are different in brightness, along with the moon.When we look at the stars, they are all yellowish and round, vary in size and placement, and they have halo like light encircling them. Sketch the trees and the daffodils, Catch the breeze and the overwinter chills. (DL) The breeze and the winter chills give off a Legato rhythm flowing with the swirling wind and the round traverse strokes throughout the painting. The Lines in this painting show consummation in the sky as well as distance. The cypress tree in front is a thicker stroke as to the trees and bushes in the background.The lines that make up the buildings get thinner as your eye looks further and deeper into the painting. The good lines such as the green cypress tree and church loom softly break up the composition, but keep your eyes pitiful around them. Van Gog h used dot-to-dot lines to depict the wind endeavor and accentuate the light the stars and moon were giving off. I read that Van Gogh was concerned with the unity of his paintings. In Starry Night, the swirling brush strokes and use of cool colors seems to unify the pieces of the painting and realize the whim that everything belongs together.Van Gogh used a painting technique called impasto. This is a thick coat of paint that makes no attempt to look smooth. This technique is textured, and shows off brush and palette knife marks. Colors changing hue, morning fields of yellow-brown grain, as much as I dont fatality to disagree with Don McLean, but a color cannot change a hue, it is in fact the other way around. Van Gogh chose vibrant hues such as violet, blue, yellow, and green. Since the painting is bright stars and moons in the dead of the night, shows how he used the Value of the colors.He also used exsanguine and yellow to create a spiral effect and draws attention to the sky. The Tint was this use of white around the stars to make them appear to light up the town even off in the dark of night where he uses Shade to darken the repose of the sky. The buildings in the middle of the painting are small blocks of different yellows, oranges, and super acid with a dash of red to the left of the church. The dominant color of blue is balanced by the orange of the night sky. He used impregnation to make the stars light up the dark blue sky.Van Gogh chose to paint with an analogous color scheme, meaning he stayed close to a authoritative color, blue in this case, on the color wheel, and ventured left and right to the violets and greens. He painted with rich colors of the night and uses these colors to suggest feeling and emotion. Emotion that he truly had which Don McLean let the world know with his chorus in his song, Vincent. For they could not have it off you, but still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry, starry nigh t. You took your keep as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was neer meant for one as beautiful as you.
