Halloween

Even on halloween I had to find art that has an All Hallow's Eve feeling, and the most famous work that I could find was "Skull of a Skeleton by Vincent Van Gogh."  Van Gogh is one of the world's most famous artists.  He didn't start painting until later in life, and then painted for 10 years (most of which was in an insane asylum) and then he commited suicide.  At the time he only sold one painting and now his artwork is some of the most expensive in the world.

1886
Vincent Van Gogh
 
Happy Halloween!!!

    this painting has so much detail put into it. It really stands out and shows the shapes and color of the bones. when painting at an angle can be very difficult, but this looks really great.Everything about this painting i like.

    That is a very detailed skeleton. This took a lot of skill to create. I am sure the artist has been painting for many years.

    This is very cool. Its really interesting on how he layed it all out. I like how the yellow contrasts with the black in the background.

    Kind of strange, but the details are incredible. Not sure why a skeleton is smoking though.

    This is a very cool piece of art and it is really scary to look at. Its creepy to think that he did most of his paintings in an insane asylum though.

    I love Van Gogh's work. I find it hard to believe that he only sold one piece of his artwork and now they're so popular. I can't imagine how he must've felt, spending 10 years creating so much pieces and only selling one. That alone would make me give up and quite, it's a miracle he kept going.

    Well I'm sure it looks good. Unfortunately the picture isn't showing up for me. I might be able to draw the white screen it shows me.

    The image also isn't showing for me. I am very certain that I won't be able to draw any good skeletons, they're a little too complex to me. Also, for some reason drawing a skeleton just seems weird to me. Though I think this would work as a don't smoke advertisement; with the cigarette and skull, it gives you the impression of smoking brings death.

    These look really weird. They remind me of ice sculptures but they're not. They still look cool.
