An Arty Artist

What we have to do on our blog this week is to choose an Artist and find some information about Him or Her and choose two paintings to talk about. The Artist I'm doing is Vincent Van Gogh.

Vincent Van Gogh was born on the 30th of March 1853 Zundert Netherlands. He had a Mother named Anna Carbentus van Goph and a Father named Theodorus Van Goph. His full name was Vincent Willem Van Goph. As a boy he went to weekly masses with his parents and was a catholic. He also had three sisters Willemina, Elisabeth and Anna.

This Painting is The Starry night Painting by Vincent Van Goph and it was done in 1888. He painted this when He was in His bedroom and looked out His window. He painted about 20 deferent variations of the Starry Night. What I like about this is that he hasn't painted it like it is a photo he has done it with his imagination and made stars into suns and also made that wave affect in the sky. Also the colour because he has used quite light colours which makes it stand out.

This painting is the Café Terrace at Night. Vincent did this painting also in 1888. He painted this when He was walking down the village with his painting gear and came across this. He thought it was a magical and delicate picture so he Painted it and thought it was really good. He then Put it in a Exhibition in 1891 and people thought it was really good. What I kike about it is that He has painted it so well it feels like your there and it feels very warming. The colours He has chosen makes it stand out and makes it lively.

That's My blog post for this week comeback next week for another.
