The greatest composer who ever lived was Ludwig van Beethoven. He knew music spoke to the heart‚ creating emotions‚ no other language could. Beethoven conveyed his feeling through the power of his music and wasn’t scared to enter unfamiliar territory when it came to his work. People weren’t used to the type of music he brilliantly composed during his time and succeeded against all odds when he lost his hearing. One of my favorite time periods was from 1803 through 1814 which was referred to as “the

Music Comparison: Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel and Ludwig van Beethoven Inspired by Ludwig van Beethoven and the ideas of Romanticism‚ the new group of composers in music were born.

“I put my heart and soul into my work‚ and I have lost my mind in the process.” - Vincent Van Gogh. A man who is known for his passion of painting but battled a fight of mental illness which ended up causing the end of his short artistic career.

Based on color‚ detail‚ and shape; Van Gogh’s painting draws the eye of the viewer and extends the imagination much more than the recent image does. Upon reading the assignment and searching for the options to choose from‚ I found myself struck bored. It was only until turning the page that my brain went‚ “Whoa!” The right image drew my eye immediately with its dark purple background‚ and then I turned to see the contrasting image on the left of the same exact building; making me want to examine

Grainstack(Sunset) and van Gogh’s The Sower In this essay I will compare and contrast two paintings. The first is Grainstack (Sunset)‚ painted by Claude Monet in 1891. The second is The Sower‚ which was painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1888.

Just beginning with the obvious‚ both Monet and van Gogh used

Van Gogh painted this piece in 1889 while he was in Saint Rémy seeking treatment in a mental asylum. Interestingly enough‚ he painted this piece from his memory and it was supposed to have been based on a constellation arrangement he had seen earlier on in the night sky of Provence. Starry Night is perhaps one of his most famous and yet most elusive works. The first thing that I noticed was the overwhelming night sky‚ which takes up most of the background. Its swirling‚ flowing lines appear to

First I don’t think canvas shoes are primary footwear for this group. The advertising campaign they have possibly will not reach them also as most of it is done thru the internet and unconventional media outlets. I also don’t think they will react well to the buy one set of shoes and they will donate a pair on your behalf. I believe

Art 101 Week 3 Assignment 2 When comparing the lines in the Vincent Van Gogh’s The Starry Night painting and Sol LeWitt’s the Wall Drawing No. 681‚ the lines are the opposite. In the Starry Night painting the lines of the sky are very curvy and flowing‚ but the lines of the buildings are very straight. The artist in this painting is showing you a vision he has had during the time he was in the asylum. The lines of the sky are erratic‚ and it shows how the artist was feeling very unstable
