The paint that was used in the painting which is The Starry Night was an oil painting. Oil painting is the kind of painting that takes time when it comes to drying the artwork. This painting is not a disadvantage because it can improve your painting moderately. The artist can have a chance to change the details of his/her artwork if he wants because most of the oil paints don’t spread around the canvas and it blends naturally. Oil painting was known to be the most unique of the painting techniques in the history of art. Many famous poets and artists used the oil painting technique like Leonardo Da Vinci, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent Van Gogh.

One of the oil painting technique is scumbling. It is to put a small amount of paint on your canvas. The result of the texture is beautiful and it is mostly used for a smooth atmosphere of a painting.

Vincent Van Gogh’s masterpiece which is “The Starry Night” was an Impasto oil technique. This technique is applying a big amount of paint on the canvas to make it thick which makes the brush strokes visible. When it dries, it has a texture that makes the painting looked like it expresses itself by popping the paint out and dried. The details of the paint are also clear which makes it captivating to look at. That was the effect of Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” to a lot of people that have seen his artwork

The Impasto oil technique is the exact opposite of the scumbling oil technique. Scumbling is recommended for a smooth-paced artwork while Impasto was for the art of heavy and thick expressionism. Van Gogh was known for using an Impasto technique. Most of his paintings were an Impasto technique such as “Wheatfield with Crows”, “Almond Blossoms”, “Sunflowers”, and many more.

The Impasto technique makes me understand the deeper purpose of the painting because the texture speaks for itself. The feeling of the painting expresses more because of the popped out details and the thick atmosphere had an effect on the artworks.

Reading Response

This reading response was about the text I read from the Reading Comprehension Box. The text was titled "Pandora's Box".



The Pandora's Box is a Greek myth. The main idea of this text is about how the bad personalities or the evil came to exist in this world.

Supporting Details:
* Zeus, the king of the gods
* 'Pandora', meaning 'all-gifted'
* Epimetheus, Pandora's husband

I chose this text because I like reading Greek myths and I also want to discover more about the Greek gods and goddesses.
After reading the 'Pandora's Box', I learned that there are a lot of characters in Greek myths, I realized that it is not just all about the story of Greek gods and goddesses. There are a lot more deeper just like this topic. It was also giving us the lessons that each of us needs to be aware of like having hope in every life's journey.

Check point 11 - PBL 2017

1. My group emailed an organization and it was not a successful plan to us. The people behind the organization was busy. So we decided to go to our back up plan. Since we prepared it already, we already come up to the next idea. We shared some suggestions until we decided to make it.

2. My group achieved our goals because we've been brainstorming about what would be our next plan since the first one failed. Our plan to make a video about Smoking was a better idea because one of my group mates is good of that. Our second plan became successful.

3. My personal actions was very focused and so to my group mates that's why we finished it on time.

4. What I would do next is to help the homeless people and the beggars
