Van Gogh
Hi my name is Kyra and I'm going to talk about Vincent van Gogh, Van Gogh is a great artist. Van Gogh was born in the Netherlands (or Holland), he was born on March 30,1853. His full name is Vincent Willem van Gogh .Van Gogh was impartial to drawings and paintings. And he wanted to become a clergyman, because he decided to follow his Dad's foot step. He never forgot his passion. He delivered his first sermon in November,1876 in England.
Van Gogh lived among the poor and saw how much they were suffering. And to the poor he gave his wordly possesions. Van Gogh's brother, Theo, encourage him to become an artist. Van Gogh left paris on February 19, 1888. He invited his Paris friend, Paul Gaugin to visit him.On December their friend ship ended. Van Gogh when before Gauguin with a razor but he gave up and Van Gogh cut off a piece of his own ear. He voluntarly go on a mental hospital in Saint-Remy. He spent nearly a year in the hospital.But Van Gogh keeps painting. And if you like something keep on doing it and never give up.

I think that your blog was pretty good except it was more of details about his beginning,then the big picture at the end. I think that you should have put in more opinions about Van Gogh and your favourite painting or drawing. There is always room for improvement.
ReplyDeleteI liked reading you point of view.
ReplyDeleteI think that Van Gogh touches many people's hearts and your right. 'If you like something keep on doing it and never give up.'
That is what Van Gogh did until the day he died.
Kyra, that was so awesome. I see very few of your writing pieces, but I have to say that this is definitely my favourite. But I did feel that is was a little bit more on the facts than on opinions, but its not like I would've done any better, so good job! :D
ReplyDeleteI have never read any of your writings Kyra, and already I can tell you're a natural at the way you write! Excellent information included but I would like to see more of your own feelings which would have made it more emotional. Very good though!
