Analyzing Art Mood

“Look at Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night." Describe how the swirling brushstrokes and the placement of the village, stars, and moon create visual movement in the painting. How does this visual movement contribute to the overall mood? Look at Faith Ringgold's "Tar Beach." Describe how the arrangement of figures, buildings, and the quilt pattern create focal points in the artwork. How do these focal points contribute to the story or message of the art?”
