Van Gogh's Art ,To Me
Van Gogh is the best artist in the world. At least to me. His artwork speaks to many people in a way that words can't. I can't believe that people wouldn't buy his paintings then, and they sell for over a 100 million dollars now. They way he uses pointillism and impressionism is astounding. I saw "Starry Night" and it encouraged me to be a better artist. The wat he blends the blues and the black; it feels like you are actually looking up at a beautiful starry sky. People say he was mad and it probobly was true. I don't care about if he was sane or insane, his artwork was magnificent. Even though he died at 37 years old he made nearly 900 drawings and 1100 paintings in a ten year period. I just wish he could taste success. After he died, a couple of his paintings became immensly popular. Van Gogh's artwork spoke to me and it spoke to millions around the world.
Wow Jade, I really enjoyed it (: I agree and have also included in my blog as well, the way a painting can speak to many people in a way that words can't. Your blog was very to the point and some words included in your blog really added feeling to it. I can see that you put a great amount of your feelings into it and you gave your own opinions. When you said you didn't care whether he was sane or insane, I do agree ad disagree. Yes the paintings were brilliant but maybe his insanity had something to do with why he had created some of his paintings? Paintings are interesting especially when they have a great meaning to why it was created. That is only my opinion but overall I really enjoyed your blog! Great piece of writing! :D

ReplyDeleteNice blog! What a piece of writing full of passion. I think you're right; does it really matter if Van Gogh was insane? But I disagree that he was insane, he was just misunderstood. It is sad that Van Gogh didn't get to taste his own fame and fortune. Sometimes paintings do speak louder than words and Van Gogh's paintings do speak to millions of people. Van Gogh had a magnificent talent of seeing things in a different way and pouring his feelings and thoughts onto a canvas. Nice Job

Great blog Jade! The only thing I could say that is negative is that there were minor grammatical errors here and there but other than that the blog was perfect
ReplyDeleteGreat blog Jade! I think the painting "Starry Night" is probably Van Gogh's best painting amoung all of his. I agree that looking at the sky of the painting "Starry Night" is like looking at a real sky. Overall, great blog!
