    APPLICATION

    Direction: Describe the picture through the following questions

    1. What is the idea the painting wants to imply?


    Shaped patterns are a means of expression in Starry Night, and they are
    used to express emotions. Although the village is painted in dark colors, the
    brightly lit windows provide a sense of peace. In comparison to the
    dramatic night sky, the village is serene, and the sadness of the night can
    almost be felt in Starry Night.

    2. Is the painting portraying good or evil? How do you say so?


    As you can see, the painting conveys a sense of sadness. It is very calming
    to be surrounded by silence and peace. The painting, in my opinion, is
    attempting to show us the good in it. Although the image is sad, it also
    provides us with comfort. Van Gough, I believe, was ill at the time. That is
    why many people felt Van Gough's emotions, which he expressed through
    this painting. Generally, despite the painting's sadness, it provides us with
    solace.

    3. What lesson will you get from the painting?


    The painting taught me that sadness, like joy, can bring us peace. I learned
    that it's okay to be sad because there's peace and comfort behind the
    sadness. I believe I have realized that it is acceptable to be alone at times. It
    doesn't make us lonely, but it does give us time to think and be alone. This
    painting has taught me a great deal, and I truly appreciate it.

    4. If you have the skill like Van Gough’s, will you paint such a painting like
    this? Why?
    Yes, because having a skill like his looks like a lot of fun. For me, being a
    painter sounds like a lot of fun. The ability to express yourself simply by
    moving a brush is, in my opinion, the best part of being a painter. However,
    if I had the opportunity to be a great artist, I would paint whatever I wanted
    and find comfort in doing so, just like Van Gough. I'd like to make my own
    art and express myself through it.

    5. How will you describe Van Gough’s Starry Night painting?


    With just a simple look, this artwork evokes a full variety of emotions in me.
    Hence, sadness dominates the picture. This gives me a serene vibe, and as
    someone who enjoys serenity, I genuinely love his artwork. It doesn't
    appear dark to me, but it provides me with such comfort that I could stare
    at it for hours. Perhaps I would call it a sad piece of art, but it can still bring
    us peace, much like a person meditating on a starry night.
