Rhythm is also well shown, as you gaze at the painting, your eyes moving around as each part flows into another. Good balance is shown in the painting, I would say it is symmetrical. However, emotionalism is also an objective, because the artist imitates reality, but also draws inward for emotion. This painting is fairly realistic, so as far as the type of art, the objective was met. It certainly met its objective, which was to portray a small town at night, with a brilliant sky and a tall and beautiful but unidentifiable structure. I mean this in the way that night has darkness, but light intrudes, creating a feeling of calm beauty.
I see that the painting expresses a dark mood, but happy at the same time. But energy in the painting lives, with the stars glistening like small suns.
What he did depict was a town, some houses with twinkling lights, others dark with the peace of sleep. Even if it was, this is not what the artist depicted.

I would not expect this town to be full of crime or noise. The meaning of the painting is along the lines of peacefulness and serenity. The artist is drawing from within to create emotion and spirit. The artist is saying that he loves the glow of the moon on a mountaintop, the mystery of a castle, the quaintness of a small town. As said in the focal point, the parts of the painting flow into one another. Parts of the painting, though surreal, fit together because they are all in the same setting: night time. Though the black lines draw the eye, the crescent moon above the town balances the painting. The movement is easily active, as bursts of light and shades dominate the night sky, but at the same time, the town is calm and simple. The illusion of space is deep, as if you are peering past the little town, into the mountains, and through the night sky.
But as your eyes search the painting, the tall castle-like structure catches your eyes and draws your vision to the town, the mountains, and then back to the sky. The focal point is easily the sky, because it has the brightest colors and greatest application of texture. Variety is shown in the form of a small, quaint, and normal town under a mystical sea of stars and moon, and the town is next to a seemingly magical but unidentifiable structure. Texture is used in the small brushstrokes used in the painting. The town is small, but is large enough to create a space that goes into the painting, and onto the mountains. Space is created with the depth of the night sky. Value is shown throughout the whole painting. Value is used as far as different shades of blues and greens. The dominant elements of art used are value, space, and texture. The aesthetic viewpoint is emotionalism, as Van Gogh’s work is realistic, but you can still detect emotion within the painting. The type of art is representational, because the painting is realistic. The title, “Starry Night,” helps to discern that the night sky is clearly one of the main points. The objective of this painting is clearly to depict a small town, at night time, also showing a tall, unidentifiable structure that is made up of curved lines. Balance is shown, because the crescent moon over the town gives a taller feel to the right side, giving the left side an equal. As you look closer you realize that the mysterious shape is not made of black lines, but dark green, with hints of blues and blacks in its midst. At first, it comes across as a sort of castle, but then you get the impression that it is a plant of some sort that is growing toward sky. On the left side, it is not apparent of exactly what the lines are. The town is shown through light blues, and yellow squares of light show that electricity or candlelight is glowing, though no people are shown. Sometimes, there is a yellow dot, the color of the moon in the innermost circle of the star. Lighter values of blue shape the outlines of large stars in the sky, though some stars are smaller than others. The painting is set at night, and the sky is a wondrous swirl of bursting blues, greens, and a gentle yellow for the crescent moon that is in the upper right corner. To the lower right, there is a small town that leads up to hills and then mountains. On the left side of the painting, there is a group of black lines that curve in waves upward, coming to a point. Van Gogh is using an expressive quality and an emotionalism viewpoint. by 36 ¼ in., and oil on canvas were the materials used. Starry Night is a beautiful painting, representational in the type of art.
