Weekend Art Homework

 Hello Room 17! I look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning for our Google Meet session at 8:30 am!


As we have been talking about analyzing art and artists, I am asking you to look at the following picture and spend some time this weekend trying to answer the following questions about this painting in your online work journals I sent home with you today.


The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh, 1889


Here are the questions I would like you to try and answer about this particular artist?

1) What is the title of the picture? Who painted it?

2) What do you notice in the foreground or the picture? What do you notice in the background?

3) What shapes do you see in the painting? 

4) what types of objects appear in the picture?

5) How do you feel when you first look at the picture? 

6) If you could change something about this picture, what would you change?
