Imagine a painter who wants to show how the sky moves at night. Instead of drawing straight lines, they use swirling colors and thick paint, like the way water spins in a whirlpool. That’s what Van Gogh did for The Starry Night. He used big, bold strokes to make the stars feel like they’re dancing across the sky.
Examples
- A paint splatter looks like rain falling from the sky.
