  14. Starry Night Vincent Van Gogh, The Starry Night, 1889 • Vincent Van Gogh painted this. • He said that this was what he was seeing out of his window. • I think that this was a beautiful night with lots of stars in the sky. • I think that the black blob is a building that he saw out his window.

  15. Description • In this picture, I see buildings • I also see what I think are supposed to be stars • I see a church tower rising above all of the other buildings • I see either mountains or waves in the background

  16. Starry Night • The negative space is used very well and all of the colors work very nice together. • I think that this work is a success because all of the stars go around and keep your eye focused on the painting. • The building also stops your eye from going off the page. • This painting is successful in art wise and in my opinion.
