Assignment 4: An Adventure in Art History
Go to this site and enjoy the adventure. Then, write me a message and convince me that you were able to finish the story! How many points did you get?
In the fourth assignment I discovered to be a children in a art museum who falls in a vortex of colors. He gets sucked in a painting! Maybe he is at The Detroit Institute of Art because he is in a Vincent Van Gogh’s painting, Bank of the Oise at Auvers. But the kid don’t know what it’s happening…. Suddenly he was sucked in the vortex and he doesn’t understand where he is…. The fish Trish will help him to get out the picture but before she (the fish is female…) will explain him where he is... In a first time Trish explains who is the painter and we’ll discover that he is Vincent Van Gogh, who was considered post-impressionist, but his style was unique for the period in which he worked. He was a bridge between Impressionism and Expressionism.. After the kid will discover what kind of picture is that in which he is fallen… and he’ll understand that is a landscape. Trish will explain also how the painting was made, with intense colors and brushstrokes. At the fourth step the fish will say where it was made, Auvers. This experience is based on the dialogue and questions between Trish and the kid. To go out the picture, the kid has to answer to some questions and here I have totalized 70/70! But now I wonder how I can cook Trish… She isn’t very pleasant!!!
In this 4th assignment I imagine to be a child fallen in a work but I don't know the work infact a fish called Trish help me and he telling me about the artist called Van Gogh and his style.In the last part is need to answer to any questions about the printer's work for obtain a score.Ihave answer to all well and I have obtained this score:70/70.I like this assignment because Van gogh is my favourite printer.
In the fourth assignment, I am a guy who gets sucked from a painting in a museum. In the painting, I meet a fish called Trish that gives me some information to understand the context in which I am. She says(because the fish is female)that the painter was Vincent van Gogh, the picture is a landscape and the brushstrokes are intense and defined. Vincent van Gogh had painted it in Auvers, in Northern France, in the last months of his life. I scored 70 points on 70!
I believe the fourth assignment is the most interesting because I have had the chance to learn many English new words referred to Art History field. In addition, I could deepen an Art History period I haven't study for a long time. In the first exercise I had to imagine to be a little girl at a museum sucked into a vortex. She finds herself inside a painting but she doesn't know what painting it is and who made it. To help me there is a fish called Trish that puts my knowledge on probation about Art History, she asks me some questions to discover which painting I fell into and I finally get out from the painting. It was made by Van Gogh in 1890 in Auvers, the French countryside and it's called "Bank of the Oise at Auvers". The painter was a post-impressionist who paved the way for Expressionists. In this exercise I scored 70/70. In the second exercise I had to imagine to be a noir detective with a degree in Art History, that has to recognize the author of a painting that a woman found in her grandfather's attic. After analyzing the style, subject and colors of the work I could confirm for sure that it was made by Francois Millet "The Gleaners", 1857. He helped to develop the Realism, in fact he was called "the man of humble-peasant". He always painted hard-working rural folk with a flat land and sky.

I wanted to imagine this history, no in a Museum, but in a Natural Park of my city: I go to the park’s lake and I see that it became colored, like a paint, all around me became colored. I see a whirlpool full of brilliant colors (green, yellow, red, orange …). I’m curious, so I take the boat and I go on the lake, but the hole of whirlpool sucked me, so I go in another parallel world. In this world, the buildings are in oil paint, the ways painted in red tempera and the cars are in water-color! I liked that place but I was worried too, because I didn’t know where I was. I met a fish, his name was Thrish, he helped me, he told me that I was in a Van Gogh paint. I was very excited because I love Van Gogh and his pictures. So I ask to Thrish tell me all about the painter and about that mysterious place. After story he showed me the way for to come back in my world. I answered at exercise’s questions and I scored 70/70.
This assignment was, for me, the most comprehensive because of his vocabulary. It was a story about a child who was sucked into a vortex during a visit at the museum. He arrived in an unknown place like a famous painting, he met a fish but to go out, the child have to respond correctly at 4 answers : who painted the painting? What kind of object is it? How does the artist paint it? And finally Where? Reflecting and beeing concentrate, the child found that he were in a Van Gogh's painting called "Bank of the Oise at Auvers" which is a french landscape. This story reminded me "Alice in the Wonderland" because she met an animal too and she were obligated to chase him to go out. I scored 60/70 ( I made a mistake about the last question : I aswered Auvers and it was Florence)
I read the story.It's fun to imagine being sucked in a painting especially from a painting of Van Gogh,and it's fun to speak with characters and ask informations them.I have certainly learned something new.Infact I didn't know that he had moved from Holland to France.I got 70 points!It was easy because Van Gogh is a my favourite painter.
