The artist has created emphasis in the town and the moon. This is because the artist has form on all the buildings in the town ans the moon isn't perfect like many people would want it. It has it's own personal flaw. The first place in which I see is the plant like thing right in the middle of the painting. I look here first because it is large and takes up a lot of the painting. I see movement in the sky where all the swirls and different shades of colors are. I want to see the next contrast of blues throughout the painting as I see the night sky. Just the same as when I see the wind I would like to see where it will end up. This artist unifies the painting by using all the different shades of blue, white, and yellow just as well as the plant like figure in the front. He does this because most of the picture are covered in these. It helps bring it together and to show how tiny the village is.
In “Starry Night” the emphasis is the sky. But, the place where I looked first is the tall weed closest to the screen. The sky is the emphasis because it is based off of the title. I look towards the weed because it is big and dark. So it’s the first thing that catches my eye. My eye travels through the painting starting at the tall weed, then throughout the wind, then to the town below. The movement therefore starts at one end of the screen and ends at the other thanks to the wind. Lastly, the artist unified the painting by having the weed reaching up toward the sky as if the ground is reaching for the sky. The weed could symbolize something.
The first part that I look at is the blue swirl coming from off the painting into the middle. That catches my eye first because of the way it just flows. VanGogh created movement by having the swirl take your eyes to the mountains in the background, and then I start wanting to see the bottom of the mountains and hills which leads me to the town. As I am looking through the town I see this dark object that leads my eyes back up to the top of the page. I start following the stars then the moon and wala! I have seen the entire art piece just by following the swirl which led me through the entire piece. The blue holds the painting together because it is the most color on the page.
The artist used emphasis in the night sky, and the black mountain. The artist uses movement by making the sky twist and turn so that your eyes follow the whole sky and the rest of the painting. He uses unity by using different values of blue in the sky.
i look at the winding wind first why? Because it just moves with the overall painting.other way he has created movement is by the wind guest right above the mountainside think the winds are what holds it all together.
In the painting "Starry Night" what I first look at is the moon and the stars because the color makes them pop out, and I think that the stars and the moon are the most important part of the painting. My eye flows with the brush strokes. Also the artist unified the painting by balancing the moon and the large plant in front and the different shades of blue across the whole painting
In the painting 'Starry Night' the first place that I look is the moon because it is the only place of bright color. My eyes follow the swirls in the sky because I want to see where they lead to. I think that either the swirls or the branches are holding the painting together.
