the starry night

I chose The Starry Night  by Vincent Van Gogh for a visual art blog post. First because i love this painting and second because I'm trying to figure out some meaning behind it.

i noticed the dark figure on the left bottom side and i always thought it was some sort of mountain or rock. now that i look closer i think its fire. the darkness of the fire might represent smoke. and i think the fire  over the town doesn't represent destruction but it's as if the fire is giving light over the town.

another thing i love about the painting is in it's name the "starry" sky. i love how it's the nighttime yet the sky still has light colors in it. the light in the sky is like the light the stars and the moon shine over the town.

this gives some sort peaceful sense. also that the stars and the moon and the sky are like a blanket over the town. its sort of connecting to how the people in this town are in their beds sleeping under blankets.

 i love his blog posts because of the way he goes in depth about  the characters and then gets the bigger picture into the world. when he does that it's almost a if he is dumb-ing it down for me and explaining in detail his reasons for everything. when I can understand better i can respond better to things.
i also love how he takes different peoples situations into the equation when talking about how his theories affect the world. when he takes other variables- not just the book and how it affects him- into how he explains things; it makes it easier to relate to what he's saying. his ideas about things are very interesting and make me curious about the topics he touches on.
Excellent job mark!
