    Vincent Van Gogh Response Paper I had watched a short video presentation on Vincent Van Gogh’s artwork that followed along with a song called “Vincent (Starry, starry night)” on Youtube. I watched this video with my class in Art Appreciation at Rogers State University. In the video I listened to the song “Starry, Starry night”, as many photos of Vincent’s art passed by and it made me feel as if I was watching beautiful art pass by my eyes every second. I love most of the artwork he has done.

    Night is notoriously famous and is probably Vincent Van Gogh’s most well-known piece of art, but that is all for a reason. Van Gogh very unique curving lines throughout the work and they create a flow to the painting that is very somber and fascinating.
