Chapter One homework assignment!

Chapter One
First homework assignment,

    

The first two artist i picked were by Juan de Valdes Leal and Vincent Van Gogh.


The first picture was done by Juan de Valdes Leal.
I like his pictures because their are meanings behind every piece of art in the painting.
He likes to say "Life is fleeting, and everything we prize and strive for during it is ultimately meaningless. Neither wealth nor beauty nor good fortune nor power nor knowledge nor fame will save us when we stand before God at the end of the world." I like how he can draw everything we humans have or want as our prize possession. He also includes skulls or signs of death in his painting to show that when we die, all our items die too. Juan is very interesting artist to me.

Now the second picture is by Vincent Van Gogh.
Vincent Van Gogh is actually one of my favorite artists.
Since elementary our school teachers had us draw the The Starry Night.
Vincent Van Gogh said "...we take death to reach a star." Like Juan he talks about death.
Vincent Van Gogh shows it differently tho.
Vincent Van Gogh exaggerates the stars to point out that the stars are important.


In these two art work, these artist shows how what they see in there eyes, what they think through there painting. They both have similar thoughts but just shows them differently through there art piece.
