In art this half term we are learning about warm and cool colours. We learnt last week that artists choose specific colours to evoke emotional responses from the people viewing their work.

This week we are going to look at how artist use tone in their work.

We will be exploring 2 paintings:

The Scream by Edvard Munch 1893

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh 1889

Bronze: Are the tones used light or dark and how does this make you feel?

Silver: Which painting do you like best and why?

Gold: Choose one painting and find out a bit more about it doing some independent research.

    The person that is screaming I think haves more darker colours and it makes me feel sad silver I like the first one because it has a lot more darker colours so it can make it a litter more interesting. GOLD the first painting is not screamin I think because take a closer look and it isn’t screaming.

    The starry night has a dark tone and the scream has dark and bright colours. The
    scream makes me feel scared and the starry night makes me feel happy.

    I like the starry night better because it makes me feel happy and it does look like a starry night.

    I like the starry night more because the scream looks scary. The starry night has nice and warm colours that are mixed with black . I like the part where their is silver mixed with black, that makes it look magical and magnificent.
    GOLD:
    I choose Starry night painting by Vincent van Gogh.
    The Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting . It is the most recognizable paintings of all time.
    Van Gogh was seeking respite from plaguing depression at the Saint-Paul asylum in southern France when he painted The Starry Night. It reflects his direct observations of his view of the countryside from his window as well as the memories and emotions this view evoked in him.

    I like the Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh 1889 because it is using different materials.
    Gold:
    The oil-on-canvas painting is dominated by night sky roiling with chromatic blue swirls, a glowing yellow crescent moon, and stars rendered as radiating orbs. One or cypress trees trees, often described as flame-like, tower over the foreground to the left, their dark branches curling and swaying to the movement of the sky that they partly obscure Amid all this animation, a structured village sits in the distance on the lower right of the canvas. Straight controlled cypress the small cottages and the slender steeple of a church, which rises as a beacon against rolling blue hills. The glowing yellow squares of the houses suggest the trees welcoming lights of peaceful homes, creating a calm corner amid the painting’s turbulence.

    Both paintings use dark tones. They are beautiful but make me feel scared.

    Silver
    I like the Starry Night picture better because I like the bright colours used to make the stars bright. I like the buildings in the background and the colours used. The Scream picture is scary because of the persons face and looks like the person is running away from the people in the background.

    Gold
    Starry Night is a famous painting by Van Gogh. He painted it in 1889 while he was staying in a mental hospital in France. It was the view from his hospital window. The painting has been used a lot on different things you can buy in the shops.

    Scream
    It is arts most scary painting.
    It was stolen not once but twice.
    There are more than 1 versions of it.
    The figure of in the scream isn’t actually screaming.
    It’s made into pop art and culture
    It might of been inspired by a mummy.

      What is the figure in the scream painting doing if not screaming?

    The scream painting has light tones in the sky and dark tones in the rest of the painting. This picture makes me feel surprised and a bit scared.

    tones and it makes me feel peaceful and relaxed.

    Silver
    I like The Starry Night because it makes me feel calm and all the tones stand out.

    1. Miss Holland

      Good effort Eva T. There are some darker tones in the ‘Scream’ as well, such as the blacks and browns. What warm tones are used in the ‘Scream’ painting? Think back to last week’s learning.

      1. Eva T.

        Red orange and yellow

  20. Eliza N.

    The picture makes me feel calm and A bit scared. The dark shades tell me it’s getting dark and the light shade makes me feel calm because it’s not completely dark. I also feel scared because in the water it looks like there a big black fire inside it.
    Silver
    I like the Starry night because it makes me feel calm and a little scared but not much. However the Scream makes me feel more scared because it looks like the man is feeling dizzy and is going crazy. I think he might have seen something scary. Maybe it’s to hot and everything is melting because the sky had bright colours like a fire.🔥

    1. Miss Redhead

      Love the idea that it could be hot great application of last week’s learning. What about the Starry Night, does this picture give you warm or cool feelings?
      What colours are used that create calmness?

      1. Eliza N.

        I feel the coolness of the light blue green and light yellow mixed in the calm beautiful sky 🌌 😌
