Lentils and Rice
Welcome all to my blog. Everyone here is welcome and I would love to see any comments that you have. Yesterday, because I missed it, there wasn'ta blog. This is not the first time. I will - if this happens - bring out a double whammy blog. So here we are with that double whammy!
As schoolwork, my school has sent out a small art project to recreate Vincent Van-Gogh's famously known painting called 'Starry Night'. It's so famous, songs have been made out of it! Anyway, I was challenged to recreate it in any way I like. I decided with my mum that I would make it out of food that we have quite a lot of - not fruit! We found that lentils and rice were the best option to make a masterpiece with.
We drew out a chart and then roughly sketched out the outline of the main points the painting has and began gathering my paint or in this case ingredients together and decided what type of food should go where. We took quick, as-we-go-along pictures of what kind of direction I was going in. Before I show you those pictures, I would like to tell you a little bit about the real artist of the real picture: Vincent Van-Gogh. He was born 30 March 1853 in the Netherlands. Vincent was fascinated by the style of impressionism as well as oil pastels and bold colours. He worked in Holland as an art dealer before being transferred to London and becoming depressed. He drifted into illness and solitude before he decided to take up painting to distract him from his pains. Van-Gogh suffered from psyhotic episodes and, although he cared about his mental health, he took no care over his physical image. One day in an angry rage in Belgium, he cut a part of his own left ear! He was again transferred but this time to a psychiatric hospital and on 29th July 1890, he shot himself. He was only 37 when he died.
Onto the pictures!

What a great way to create a picture I'm sure Vincent Van Gogh would approve!
