VAN GOGH

I chose this painting by Van Gogh to represent my life between the ages of 5 and 10. During this time of my life I felt like I was on top of thew world. I was happy and my life was great. I went to Codington Elementary school and i loved my teachers and the people that went there. My parents were loving and gave me pretty much whatever i wanted. Van Gogh had also been going through a happy time in his life when this photo was painted. He used small brush strokes and bright colors to show that this was a happy time in his life.

I chose this painting by Van Gogh to relate to my life between ages 11 and 14. I thought my life was great when I was younger but it just keeps getting better. I love my life. This painting was also during a happy time in Van Gogh's life. His use of small, frequent brush strokes shows that he is happy and content and has all the time in the world.The vivid colors also show that he was absorbing everything and paying close attention to detail.
