COURSEBOOK p. 56 Animals on Factory Farms

More than 9.5 billion chickens, turkeys, pigs and cows are slaughtered every year for food in the United States. The vast majority of these animals are raised in “factory farms,” where they are confined in huge numbers in barren, industrial settings. These facilities are not just inhumane, they are also environmentally unsound and dangerous for public health. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The ASPCA is calling for increased transparency in animal agriculture, an end to the cruelest factory farming practices, and adequate funding for a more humane food system.

An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching, invasive species, and climate change.

UNIT 4 - VINCENT VAN GOGH

 

Vincent Willem van Gogh (1853 – 1890) was a Dutch Impressionist painter who is among the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created approximately 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. 

They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits and are characterised by bold, symbolic colours and dramatic, impulsive and highly expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. 

Only one of his paintings was known by name to have been sold during his lifetime (The Red Wines, 1888). Van Gogh became famous after his suicide, aged 37, which followed years of poverty and mental illness.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vincent van Gogh decided to become an artist at the age of 27. 

That decision would change his life and art history forever.

One of his most famous paintings is Starry Night (1889).

🧩DO THE PUZZLE OF STARRY NIGHT

SONG STARRY STARRY NIGHT by Don Mac Lean McLean, 

who wrote the lyrics in 1971 after reading a book about the life of Van Gogh.

It's a sad song about how no one understood his work while he was alive. 

He struggled to sell any of his own works. 

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

The message of this painting: Van Gogh was seeking respite (rest, relaxation) from plaguing (torturing) depression at an asylum in southern France when he painted The Starry Night. It reflects his direct observations of his view of the countryside from his window as well as the memories and emotions this view evoked in him.
