Artists

1. Vincent Van Gogh- 
The Starry Night.
 I love his style of painting. Its dark, and mysterious looking, yet it has a different touch to it.

2. Pablo Picasso-
The Three Musicians.
In this painting, he used the style of cubism. I liked how he didn't use that many colors, and yet made an amazing picture of three people playing instruments. Its a different and unique style.

3. Claude Monet-
The Lily Pond.
When I was in elementary school, my art teacher gave us an assignment to try to draw this painting that Claude Monet painted. I love all the different shades of green that he used. He painted this a lot, and did different styles, colors, etc, for the seasons.

4. Leonardo Da Vinci-
Mona Lisa
Leonardo was known for a lot of things.
One thing he was known for was his painting of Mona Lisa. I like how a lot of his paintings with people, the people look realistic. I think its one of the hardest things to do, and I respect it.

5.George Seurat-
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte
I think George Seurat is so amazing. He painted everything in dots. Its so amazing, and it would just take so much time to do every dot, and paint things like this.
