The Starry Night
by Vincent van Gogh.

I can see a village with more than ten houses and a tall church.
The tall tree looks like a big castle.
The sky looks like there was an exsplosion with waves of powerful wind.

You have done an excellent job describing what you can see in Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’.
This particular painting is one of my favourites for almost the exact same reasons you enjoyed it; the beautifully detailed village, the spectacular tree which almost looks like a castle, and the gorgeous swirls which have been shaded into the sky. I also really like the use of oil paints as well as the pop of colour which comes from the shining moon.
What is your favourite part of this image?
Vincent Van Gogh truly was such an amazing artist who inspired so many others with his work.
Have you seen any of Van Gogh’s other paintings? If so, which ones did you like?
I enjoy drawing and painting. Whenever I’m feeling a little bit down, I always pull out my sketchbook and draw, and it makes me feel so much better!
Do you enjoy drawing and painting?
