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
