THE STARRY NIGHT




THE ABOVE ART WORK OF VINCENT VAN GOGH 1889


This oil-on-canvas painting is dominating by a night sky roiling with chromatic blue swirl , a glowing yellow crescent moon which shows the waning gibbous stage of moon  and also a Venus . 

The dramatic swirling pattern of the sky is dominating the canvas. Which looks like a spiral nebula or a galaxies , some studies claims that swirling sky is radiating stars, demonstrating illuminance with scaling — similar to that the mathematical theory of physical turbulence with time of psychological turbulence for van Gogh . As he was facing emotional crises it seems that the sky is painted wet on wet executed quickly and confidently. The vertical cypresses an steeples counteract the horizontal of the town and stabilize the diagonal of the tumbling mountain range , town is still emphasizing the dramatic action everywhere else . The hills are over rolling the cypresses flicker like flames and the sky is spectacular motion , this can be said that he was more interested in the open infinity sky and the cypresses indicated the bridge between heaven and earth , he has shown a very small time which is between valleys and all homes are surrounding the church some house have lights . He teaches us that sky is not as it looks but as he feels. 



Well frankly the bright colours caught my eyes and as there is a movie on him and songs on  van Gogh , I took it as a opportunity to learn something about him and his art , plus a person expresses himself with colours is amazing is what I often try to do , he was depresses and last years of his life he was painting mostly about nights to I took it   


Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter who is among the most famous figures of history of western art work he created around 2,100 art works , including 860 oil paintings, most of them were from the last 2 years of his life , ehich includes landscapes , still lifes , portraits and self-portraits . he was very commercially successful but he was having depression, mental illness and poverty he died after comting suicide at the age of 37 . when he was in the asylum he wrote a tale “ I must also have a starry night with cypresses , or perhaps above all a field of ripe corn, there are some wonderful night here” he suffered from psychological crises he wrote another tale “ This morning i saw the country side from my window a long tim before sunrise , with nothing but the morning which looked very big “ , he was not allowed to paint in the asylum so he imagined it all and painter the starry night .




Bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brush work that contributed to the foundations of modern art Theo Franky indicated that the painting favoured style over substance .Abstract landscape painting with thick coating as gogh directly apply paint from the tube on the canvas ,he has used most brightest color like yellow and blue , his composition is superbly balanced , the vertical of the cypresses and steeples counteract the horixontal of the tower and stabilized the diagonal of the tumbling mountain range and the town is till emphasizing the dramatic action everywhere else .

The hills are rolling the cypresses flickers like flames and the sky is spectacular motion , There is a lesson in his art , brush stokes looks like lines that curve & swirl —_all of nature seems to be in motion. His modern art has many meaning.

LOCAL SYMMETRY

   LOCAL SYMMETRY Symmetry is in many ways the most important property in cities, and in living structures too. There are many kinds of symmetries — bilateral (like our two hands), radial (like the irises of our eyes), and so on. There are also many compound symmetries, like our eyes (each of which is radial while both are bilateral). But breaks in symmetry are also very important, as we are learning from many fields today, notably physics. A relentless form of symmetry that does not break when adaptive conditions require it is oppressive, and usually indicates a faulty process of generation. (Including a designer who has become megalomaniacal with their design, as can be seen in, say, the vast, overly-symmetrical palaces of some despots.) A more benign form of symmetry can be seen occurring spontaneously in many places — exquisitely symmetrical at local and human scales, but interrupted at larger scales, especially when topography or other conditions prompt an adaptive shift....

 SYMMETRY IN ARCHITECTURE - ROTAIONAL AND REFLECTIONAL  In rotational and reflectional symmetry, there is a central point that is the center of rotation and the point of intersection of the reflection mirrors. This symmetry type is comparable to dihedral wheel patterns but can be either 2-D or 3-D. 1. Pentagon Symmetry:  The center is the building in the middle of the courtyard, and the mirrors each contain a vertex. The Pentagon is comparable to a D5 or (*5) wheel pattern. Resource:  Blackwell, William (1984).  Geometry in Architecture . pg. 51. 2.City of Granmichele Symmetry:  The center of this seemingly D6 or (*6) wheel pattern is the middle of the city. Three mirrors are the roads that run through the center of the city. The other three mirrors contain opposite vertices of the visibile hexagon. Resource:  Blackwell, William (1984).  Geometry in Architecture . pg. 27.  3. St. Peter's Basillica     Symmetry:  The center of t...

ART OF MUSIC IN EDUCATION Music is the art of arranging sounds in time to produce a composition through the elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.  It is one of the cultural universal aspects of all human societies. General definitions of music include common elements such as pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics (loudness and softness), and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture (which are sometimes termed the "color" of a musical sound). Different styles or types of music may emphasize, de-emphasize or omit some of these elements. Music is performed with a vast range of instruments and vocal techniques ranging from singing to rapping; there are solely instrumental pieces, solely vocal pieces (such as songs without instrumental accompaniment) and pieces that combine singing and instruments. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike; "(art) of the Muses")  Etymology  Th...
