The Scream

Lists 3 visual elements of art and design (the "building blocks") you think Munch employed when he created The Scream. These visual elements must be chosen from those featured in Chapter 3 and the PowerPoint presentation. 1. After you list the 3 visual elements, you must then write a 300-word long thread that describes the characteristics of each element AND explains why they were chosen by Munch to createThe Scream. 2. Pay particular attention to the most obvious visual elements of The Scream. It may be helpful for you to view the attached image of the painting while viewing the PowerPoint presentation. One could argue that Munch employed most of the visual elements of art (those featured in the PowerPoint presentation) when he painted…

The Scream by Edvard Munch is an iconic painting in today’s time, much like the Mona Lisa has been in the past. Munch found his inspiration for this piece of art from an actual place located on a hill in Norway and at the bottom of the hill was the madhouse where Munch’s sister was kept. The painting is of a person with a ghostly face, standing beside a railing. What catches your eyes in this photo is the person is standing there shrieking, mouth wide open, with a hand on both sides of their…

“The Scream” The painting entitled “The Scream” was painted by the artist, Edvard Munch. The original piece was painted on a cardboard surface using pastels in 1893. The painting is abstract and uses vibrant colors to portray a man screaming while standing on a wooden structure with two mysterious figures following him. While observing the artwork, I noticed that the man is staring behind him and might even think that he is being followed, which could be the potential reason for the…

His iconic painting “The Scream” (Image 1) with its exaggerated colors and distorted shapes amplify anxiety and alienation and is the perfect example of Expressionist art. Munch in his tormented “scream” is reacting to the anxieties associated with the modern changing world. In true Expressionist style the elements are exaggerated, distorted, vivid and jarring. The palette is limited and Munch uses intense colour with agitated brushstrokes. Munch’s inner emotional turmoil is conveyed by the…

Why do banshees scream? A long time ago, a boy sat alone. He had nothing, but his own thoughts, rattling around his own evil mind. He hated his family, for they were awful to him. His sister was the worst, but he tended to ignore her. She antagonized him over and over, the rest of his siblings did the same and his parents ignored what was happening. They just assumed that he was being tormented for a reason, that the almighty Zeus had a reason. The boy did not believe in gods, he didn’t believe…

American Pastoral, a book painting a vibrant picture of American ideals revealed over time to be unattainable, ends its tragic story with some of the most contradictory elements possible: a scream, a laugh, and finally, a question. The scream takes place at the dinner party, uttered by Lou Levov, who has been in the kitchen of Swede’s house doing his awkward best to stop the inebriated Jessie Orcutt from, in his view, making a complete fool of herself. Distressed by his arrogance, she stabs him…

goes down for his swimming lesson that the pool will be empty and that his sister will push him into the pool which will kill Teddy. Earlier in the story, Teddy wrote in his diary “It will either happen today, or when I’m sixteen”. Which, can allude to the fact that somehow, Teddy is able to see into the future and predict his death. The story ends, with Teddy and Bob going their separate ways. Teddy leaves for his swimming lesson, and after a few minutes Bob hears the scream of a young girl.…

create relationships between the observer and between physical pieces of the work. This ability is used to manipulate the sight of the viewer. As said by Edgar Degas “Art is not what you see but what you make others see.” The intended outcome or reaction isn’t always what’s received. In many instances the improper use of mixed media can generate a unhappy emotion; an unpleasant mix. Using mixed medias in a balanced way helps to level this out, creating the feeling of joy and pleasantry. The…

First, think of all the horror films you have heard of or seen: A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Chucky. The majority of horror films are predictable (Carroll 97). Slasher films are especially predictable: run, scream, die, in no particular order. If you read this guide then you are not going to do that. I assure you. Night One: The Chase Know who is chasing you. As a rule of thumb the person trying to kill you is most likely a human (Iaccino 130). You most likely will not know…

culture analysis; I would watch three slasher films and observe certain elements within the film in order to infer how they represented society 's values. In order to observe the cultural phenomenon of the slasher film in its purest form, I selected three slasher films from the genre 's early days of popularity. This was to ensure that I was getting an accurate representation of a slasher film before the genre was parodied and exploited. Many characters in recent horror films could be referred…
