Watch this video clip Vincent.  Then do the following:

1. As you listen to the song,  how do you interpret it?  What is the message?  What is the songwriter
trying to say about him? Why do you think he wrote a song for him? For you, what makes him
great as an artist?  (10 pts)

I interpret the song that Don Mclean wrote entitled "Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)" was
connected to Vincent van Gogh's actual life. The message of this song is many people's confused over the
name why starry night?. But there's nothing mysterious about the song; it's just the musicians paying
homage to a painter from another time. The song writer trying to say about him is it appears like van
Gogh is drawing a comparison between life and death by using bright stars and a desolate, quiet
countryside. He wrote song for him because McLean says that the inspiration for writing a song on
Vincent van Gogh came to him as he was reading a biography of the artist. The song evolved into a
tribute to the musician and his creations.

Lastly for me he was the great artist, it developed a vibrant individual style that was characterized
by rich color, forceful brushstrokes, and curved figures.

2.  Inspired by the song “ Vincent”, make your personal statement following the video tutorial
below.  To write your personal statement think of ways on how to present it in a more interesting
way.  Remember that a personal  mission statement is about you. This will serve as reminder about
how you view your life and what you want to be or to do in life. Be creative.  Write your personal
statement in a creative way like in a bookmark, sticker, in a frame, in a nice paper to put in a
wallet, etc.  You also add drawings and nice art to your work or you may also feature the best of
Van Gogh’s Art like sunflower or stars etc.  When done, take a photo for submission.  Then make
sure to insert date and signature on your artwork for authenticity. (20 pts.)
