In your own words! i know that there are other answers for this on other questions, so don't even bother to copy and paste!
a. write a caption to appear in a museum next to vincent van gogh’s portrait of dr. gachet. in the caption, explain the mood the artwork through an examination of the elements of art, as well as the overall aesthetic value of the work.
b. imagine a group of art history students has read your caption and disagrees with what you wrote for the van gogh piece. write a brief paragraph defending your analysis.

well dr. gachet didnt make it himself he had someone else do it for him because he was to old to paint it even tho he enjoyed painting : 3

(in my opinion it looks nice)

explanation:

hope this is useful in some way

well seeing i am an artist and i actually did a self portrait; i will describe how i painted it.   i used acrylic on a stretch canvas about 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall. i painted myself smiling in a soft pink long dress, white tile floor sitting on a white couch with a table behind and a vase of gorgeous flowers.   i also had a round white hat with a soft pink ribbon through it laying on the floor and on the table behind me was a lit candle. i kept it simple but soft and romantic.

including the octave, the answer would 8 notes in a major scale with one note being played twice. ex) c major scale includes: c, d, e, f, g, a, b, c

notice that c is played twice

however, if you were to ask me how many different notes are in a major scale- the answer would be 7.
