    I was first introduced to Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork through a YouTube video in my Art Appreciation Class. The video displays some of his more popular paintings. It is set to the tune of ‘Starry Starry Night‚’ a song written by Don McLean. McLean wrote the song as a tribute to Van Gogh and told the story of Van Gogh’s life through his own eyes. McLean portrays Van Gogh as somewhat of a tormented soul who took his own life. I could almost feel Van Gogh’s pain through the mixture of visual and

    How does Shakespeare present the theme of deception in the first two acts of Twelfth night? Shakespeare’s Twelfth night‚ focuses mainly on the theme of deception in both main plot and the sub-plot.

Also the spaces among the curving contours and the stars creates a dot to dot effect. The painting is brimming with shining stars and a beautiful bright crescent moon and everything is surrounded by magical whirling clouds. The contoured forms in this piece of artwork convey emotion and are means
