"The Starry Night" by Vincent van Gogh

During our lesson on Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh we explored his use of space and texture. This painting is a great example of works of art that have a foreground, middle ground and background. Can you identify the object in the foreground of this painting?

Paintings with texture

Texture, another element of art, is used to describe either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work.

Take rocks, for example. A real, 3-D rock might feel rough or smooth, and definitely feels hard when touched or picked up. A painter, depicting a rock, would create the illusions of these qualities through use of color, line, shape, etc.

What kind of textures can you find in Vincent Van Gogh's sky?
