The Scream -- Gr. 12 Blog Post for Fri. Nov 23

Does this assignment make you want to scream?  Good, it'll help you remember it!  While you're screaming, yell out all the details:  artist, art period, materials... you get the idea.

Here are a few questions to get you started on your blog post for this week:

  • Which art period does this artwork belong to?  Why?
  • Why is he screaming?
  • Why is this painting successful?
  • Why do you think the artist created art like this? (base your opinion on facts about the artist)
  • Find the BEST parody of The Scream.  Best parody gets a prize! :)
Feel free to find some great material about The Scream by clicking on the 'details' tab on Google Art Project.
