(Response to a historical artwork)

Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh 

- One of the most well known images.

-The painting depicts the view outside his sanitarium room window at night, although it was painted from memory during the day.

- Painted oil on cavas

- Made in 1889

- He used mostly cool colors which gives a soothing feeling and also shows that it was indeed, night. 

- He showed texture through his painting style. 

(Review of a career that I am NOT Interested in)

Museum Curator 
http://careers.stateuniversity.com/pages/548/Museum-curator.html



Training and Education: Usually requires a master's degree. In natural history and science museums they require a doctoral degree. Most curators do their graduate work in art, art history, or some specialized area such as archaeology and work in museums.

Variations of the job: They are responsible for finding and choosing what pieces of art goes in the museums, and how they are to be displayed.


Salary: Median—$43,920 per year


Start up cost: However much your schooling cost. 


The portfolio: Needs to be relevant of the job. Maybe having to do with your work in museum artwork or how you can choose artwork for the museum.


This career wouldn't be a good career choice for me because I would find it way too stressful to try to choose artwork worthy of being in a museum. It would place to much on my plate, i feel because having to make decisions that affect other people usually freaks me out. So, I wouldn't be able to do this job.
