Vincent Van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh was born March 30th, 1853 in Zundert, Netherlands. He was a painter who was notable for his rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold color. He died at the young age of 37. At first I couldn't decide what artist to do, but then I looked at Mr. Purdy's posters on the wall, and Starry Night was on one of the pictures. So I looked up who painted it and found Vincent Van Gogh and decided to do him.

Georges Seurat
Georges Seurat was born December 2, 1859 in Paris, France. He was a French Post-Impressionist painter. He is noted for creating the technique of painting we call pointillism. Pointillism is a technique where small dots are formed together to create a big image. He died at the age of 31 on March 29, 1891. I chose this artist because I like his picture of A Sunday on La Grande Jatte because it reminds me of a picture of the Office cast. I also like his work because of the pointillism. I like how when it is far away you can't tell, but when you look up close you can see all the dots.
