Starry Starry Night Critique

   Starry Starry Night is a painting painted in 1889. Vincent Van Gogh was the man who painted it. This Glistening glorious Starry Starry Night is a very very well known painting. Starry Starry Night was the size of 73 x 92 centimeters. Just like the painting Sunflowers.

Staring into Starry Starry Night, the bright yellow stars stand out from the blue sky. Coming out from the side of the painting is a swirl that trails through stars. The foreground is a cypress tree that looks like a humongous dark flame rising to the stars of hope.

   The horizon is blue and purple, with a glint of yellow where the sun is setting. This sunset separates the sky from the gloomy village. Calm and gloomy is the feeling of the village. The peaceful village is contrast to the bright joyful sky.


Little tiny houses with lights shining out of the windows make the houses look warm and comfortable. The village is gloomy and peaceful.


With the little calm village awaiting under the bright joyful sky is what makes this painting wonderful. Starry Starry Night.

Most Tiring Swimming Lesson

Making our way to the pools, I could hear the rustling sound of plastic bags. Although it wasn’t

as noisy and the chattering children. As we wait for the other kids to catch up I was sooo eager

to start our swimming lessons.

Entering the pools, instantly I smell the scent of chlorine. Staring at the water, I just couldn’t wait

to jump.

 As I put my swimming togs on, they felt still a bit damp from the day before. “Ahh” I sighed as I

hopped in the hot shower. Walking out of the changing rooms, the feeling of coldness hit me like

a struck of lightning.

  “Okay slip yourselves in and grab a flutter board”, our instructor ordered. This was going to be

an awesome lesson, I just knew it. From the water yesterday, today's one felt a bit warmer.

  Pushing off the wall, I felt like a penguin gliding through the water. While kicking my way to the

end of the pool, I nearly caught up to one of my friends. Sadly she beat me. But not by far.

“Alright, that was awesome guys. Now we’re just going to do two more lengths then move on”

our instructor announced. Thinking to myself I just knew this was going to be piece  of  cake. Or

that’s what I thought.

  I suppose it wasn’t as easy as I thought at the start. Finishing my second length I was getting

so tired. Maybe I regret saying this was going to be an awesome lesson.

  Struggling to get out of the pool, a shiver drove up my spine causing me to shake  and shiver.

Making my way to changing rooms, I just couldn’t wait to hop in that hot shower again.

  Another nice, but tiring swim lesson. I hope tomorrow’s swim will be less tiring. Back to old plain school now.

Sunflowers By Vincent Van Gogh

This extremely,valuable painting painted by Vincent Van Gogh, is so famous people in our days would buy it for more than $40 Million. ‘Sunflowers’ is the name. It was quite a  big painting, at the size of 73 x 92 cm, now that’s big. The other characteristic was its medium. He had used expensive oil paints to paint it. Vincent painted ‘Sunflowers’ in the year 1888, 2 years before his death.


 The texture of this painting was often very thick. To describe the feel, it would feel as if you were running your hand over pebbles. He used up  so much paint, that he didn’t have enough money to buy any food for himself.

  Van Gogh never often used straight lines for this piece art. They were more curvy and squiggly like. Loose and free is kind of what the flowers tend to be. I reckon he painted like that to make it more realistic.

  The colour of the painting is bright and sunny. All the colours make me feel happy and relaxed. Bright and unique colours really make good effect to  the painting.  He may have been in a very good mood, for a depressed man like him.

  If you look at it a certain way, it kind of looks like its slightly moving. I sometimes forget that it's just a painting instead of a moving object. It’s quite unique that he used that kind of technique to make the painting look as if its swishing side to side. I find the painting very fascinating and beautiful.


    Van Gogh painted the Sunflowers as a decoration for his flatmate’s room. Paul Gauguin (Van Goghs flatmate) had no idea that Van Gogh was doing this for him. Now I get why he used bright sunny colours. If you look closely, you can see that he drew the flowers dying and healthy.

 I think he was in a really good mood while painting this desired piece of art. Although, he may have been very hungry at the time of this painting. Its sad that he never got to know how good his paintings really were.
