Paul Cezanne


Paul painted "Still Life With Soup Tureen". This painting has a lot of color and detail. Paul was a member of the French Impressionist painters.

I really like the table cloth, the pictures in the background, and the pot. I really like the way the fruit is colored with multiple colors. It reminds me of home. It is interesting how he used the different colors on the fruit to demonstrate light.

Henry Moore

Henry Moore built a scupture called "Hill Arches". It is an a abstract. It is made of bronze and is displayed outside. It was made in the 1970's.


I think that this sculpture is a very artistic sculpture. I really like the cool shapes. The pieces all look like they belong together. I like the way the visual appearance flows.

Leonardo da Vinci



Leonardo made the painting "Mona Lisa". It is arguably the most famous painting in the world. The mystery of the model and her unusual smile are key points to this painting.

Leonardo was an Italian. He was an expert in many things: Math, art, engineering, inventor, anatomist, and many other things also. He lived from April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519.

Her you can see his famous self portrait and a copy of the "Mona Lisa".

He also has many famous Christian paintings and one being "The Last Supper".

I think he has a lot of detail in his work. Most of his work has people in it. He was very smart and I would consider him a genius.

Vincent Van Gogh


Vincent Van Gogh made the painting Starry Night. Starry Night is a very famous painting. There are a lot of other paintings like Cafe Terrace, Starry Night Over the Rhome, Sunflowers, Irises, and Almond Branches. A picture of Starry Night is here for you to see. Vincent was alive in the 1800's.

I like Starry Night because I think it has good texture and I like the sky. I like all of the details in the city.

It is an impressionist painting. Impressionism in paintings is usually shown by evident paint strokes and emphasis on light.
