Blog #8
You should have a Moodle message from me with two names in it by Monday
evening of this week. I want you to use what you have learned about finding and
evaluating sources to see what kind of information you can find about both of
those people. You will write your biography
on one of these individuals. For this week's blog, I would like you to discuss
which person you chose and why you chose that person. If you cannot come up
with 250 words about why you chose the person, it might be difficult to write
an essay on that person, so be sure to do some research and decide who is more
interesting to you.
I
have become very interested in Vincent Van Gogh out of the three choices I received.
His birth came exactly one year after his mother lost her first child in a
still birth that she was also planning on naming Vincent. He was born on March
30, 1853 in Groot Zundert, The Netherlands. This was said to add trauma to his
life with the since of feeling like a “replacement child”. This was not a
marked historical point in his life so there isn’t much information about it, but
he lead an amazing life of his own that I cannot wait to write about in my
paper. I honestly can understand why he would suffer some psychological trauma because
of this just as I think anyone would who was named after or even possibly made
just as a replacement of someone else or a genic multiple of someone else to
help them survive. Everyone deserves to have his or her own life and shouldn’t be
seen as anything different. He is a wonderful artist that shows a lot of
uniqueness in each painting that he creates. There are way too many paintings
of his to choose a favorite. I took a fine arts visual class last spring
semester and learned a few things about Vincent Van Gogh, and how he grew to
become a very famous and unique painter, that shows total individuality with
each brush stroke. Creativity should be learned by each person. It defines the
true characteristics of each individual.
