The Background (Assignment FOR AP and HONORS ART HISTORY)

Green Wheat Field with Cypress by Vincent Van Gogh is a lesser know painting. However, that does not mean that it is lacking in any sort of skill or talent. Van Gohg's distinct style is part of the Post-Impressionism movement in art in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

He painted this during his voluntary stay in an asylum in 1889. It is believed that he suffered from schizophrenia.

Write 1-2 page response detailing what you have learned about Van Gohg and Post Impressionism, using the hyper-links as your sources.

Reminder: If I provide the source, a citation is NOT needed.

AP ART HISTORY:

Find 2 other additional sources that include analysis of Van Gogh's Starry Night as well.

(Hint: Starry Night is on the required works list.)

Your paper should be 3-4 pages because of the additional analysis.

Turn your in paper IN CLASS on Monday, 3/6/17
