You can use the table below to help you.; Good morning, everybody. Welcome to our presentation. I’m very excited to have this opportunity to talk about one of my favourite pieces of art. It is called The Starry Night and was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889. First, let me tell you about the background to this painting. It shows the French town, Saint-Remy-de-Provence at night. It is based on the view from a window in a hospital where Van Gogh was a patient. Sadly, he suffered from health issues throughout his life, and his work only found fame after his death. Although it shows the view at night, Van Gogh painted it during the day from memory. He also painted other versions at different times of day.; This is an oil painting on canvas. One can immediately tell from its features that it is a Van Gogh painting. For example, the swirls in the sky show Van Gogh’s distinctive painting style. The curled dashes of bold colour can be seen in many of his works. The moon and stars are big and yellow. This was Van Gogh’s favourite colour. Although Van Gogh did not think the painting was very good, it is considered a masterpiece and is one of the most recognised paintings in the history of Western art. It really captures the viewers’ attention and draws them in. It gives the viewer an idea of the state of mind of Van Gogh at this difficult time in his life. All in all, I think this is a great example of Van Gogh’s style. It is a magical painting, and a piece of work of a troubled genius.;Part 2 Write an art exhibition announcement;ANCIENT CHINESE ART ON SHOW The Richfield Muse
