Consider Vincent van Gogh's work The Starry Night, included in this chapter of the text. Explain which function of art this work best fulfilled for the artist and the function it best fulfills for you as a viewer
What will be an ideal response?
Responses will vary as this question requires personal subjective feedback. Students should mention that Van Gogh sought to express his personal feelings as he stood on the outskirts of a small village in France and looked up at the night sky. Van Gogh had become intrigued by the belief that people journeyed to a star after their death, and that there they continued their lives.
