Today I want to talk about a pretty famous painting—it’s Van Gogh’s “Starry Night!” It was painted way back in 1889, but I’m sure you’ve seen this picture on socks, phone cases, and posters. Truth be told, it really has such a rich history. So without further ado, we’re going to dive into it. 

What I want to talk about first is Van Gogh’s use of color. The blue and yellow tones are cohesive, and the dark lining on the tree in the foreground really separates you from the spiraling, intense sky.

The use of color is really strong in the sense that nighttime moonlight is effortlessly shown. Don’t you feel as if you are actually there in the painting?

Color brings me over to Gogh’s use of light. This is probably the most impressive part of the whole piece and what you notice first. The moon and stars have a great sense of value and really glow. 

The last thing I want to bring up is texture, which is an important factor. “Starry Night” has an iconic use of texture due to Gogh’s dash technique—short and thick brush strokes can make you think if you touched the painting, you would feel the individual grooves and curves.

And that’s pretty much it for the time we have in class today. There are other parts of “Starry Night” too—you could really talk about it for hours. So, the next time you see a pair of familiar socks, you should be able to recall some cool facts about the iconic design!
