The Scream

The person who made the scream was Evard Munch in 1893. He was inspired by all these tragic things happening and the main person there is screaming and the others aren't noticing anything. There was four copies. One was made of oil, tempera, and pastel on cardboard. I like this artwork because there are many things that can be represented in here. For one thing the man two men in the behind can be the cause of why the man is screaming. Another could be that he is paranoid and doesn't like water and doesn't like being near it.

Discussion Questions
!. What do you think this artwork means?
2.Why do you think he is screaming?
3. Why do you think there are two people in the background?

Pumpkin Carving

I have never carved a pumpkin until last halloween. Which was like a couple days ago. When I carved my pumpkin it looked something like this one.
I thought to my self why is it that when you draw a pumpkin its always two triangles for eyes and another one upside down for a nose and a mouth. I decided to go online and use some other sculpters ideas to make my own creative pumpkin carving. I was fasinated with some of the pumpkin carvings but they were so complicated. Just like the one below. It takes time to carve nice pumpkin and proper materials to do the job. But at the end your work will pay off.

Questions
1.What materials will you might use to carve a pumpkin?
2.When was the last time you have carved a pumpkin?
3.Create your own unique pumpkin design?

Beyond Ancient

This artwork might take you back to the medival ages (middle ages). We might have forgot all about these castles because everyone now is living in an apartment or house, but these building still exists. I myself thought they were all destroyed just like how dinosaurs were. So I decided to look more in it and google it to find more about it. This castles
is surrounded by trees and is located in a very large wood. This artwork just catch my eye when I look at because I have never saw one or live in one.I always had wonder how life was living in a castle where everything is bigger and the view of the outside surrounding is just magnificent.


Questions:
1. If you were to live in this castle for 2 months, would you like this giganitc place? Will you feel safe, if not what do you fear about living in the castle?


2. What differences would life be if you lived in this castle compared to your own house, or apartment? How will your life be like, if you were to leave Chicago and live at this castle? What will you lose or gain?

3.Why do you think this castle is surrounded by trees, is there any purpose for it?
