Journal Entry: Ingredients of an art work.
How to make “Starry Nights”
Ingredients:
Paint
Brushes
Love
Time
Emotions
Peaceful essence (flows from structures)
Cool and Warm colors (warm memories)
Background:
In order to make the night sky you will need your brushes, paints, and canvas. Start by using dark blues the lighten the sky with swirling clouds of lighter blues, yellows, and grays, create 11 stars with their own luminescence by using shades of yellows and oranges, and then add a shinning crescent moon. Now you have the night sky
Middle ground:
To make your night more realistic and to allow viewers to get warm memories create hills to outline the horizon. Below the horizon add a small town and a steeple.
Foreground:
Create an abstract structure to allow imagination.
Hang up the painting and step back. Now you have your own “Starry Night.”
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
Vincent van Gogh

Art Vincent Van Gogh
When I was younger I heard a song, fell in love with the song, found the picture to the song and fell in love with the painting. Later on I found the artist and here he is Vincent Van Gogh and his wonderful work of art "Starry Night."The song is called Starry Starry Nights by Don McLean
Born on March 30, 1853, at Groot-Zundert in the province of Brabant, Vincent Van Gogh was the son of a Protestant minister. His uncle was a partner in Goupil and Company, art dealers, and Vincent entered the firm at the age of 16 and remained with it for 6 years. He served the firm first in The Hague and then in London, where he fell in love with his landlady's daughter, who rejected him; then he worked for Goupil's branch in Paris.
