1. Edvard Munch was born December 12, 1863 in Norway, he went to college for technology but decided to leave in order to become a painter, which upset his father. He decided to follow his dream of becoming a painter. He enrolled in Royal School of Art and Design, at first he experimented with many different styles for example naturalism and impressionism. After many experiments he found that it had a limit on how much he could expresses himself.
2.The Scream, 1893
3. I think this picture is a man that might have heard or something shocking ahead of him or around him that it caused him to scream. It appears that he's on a bridge walking when he heard something or someone that probably disturbed him. The sun looks as if its about to set and darkness is soon about to approach and that's why he's either hearing voices or saying things. The picture looks very colorful and appears to have a lot of detail especially with the gentleman's facial expression. The colors used on this painting are both light and dark. In my opinion I think the picture is saying that sometimes in life your surroundings or feelings can make you want to scream. Your feelings sometimes take over and you have no choice but to release them especially when you cant handle no more. The themes that I feel that are being addressed are the feeling of being lonely, stressed, afraid, being socially isolated and emotional.
