As we are working through our introductory assignment, the name design, you are asked to give a visual example of your interests and important components of your life.
Now that we have been working at this for a couple of days, ask yourself the aforementioned question. Is your piece a reflection of your experiences at your home, at school, and in your extracurricular activities?
Think of a famous artwork. Can you imagine how the artist used art as a form of communication to convey an experience from his or her life?
Consider this pastel drawing by Edvard Munch, entitled "The Scream of Nature", one of a series of drawings popularly referred to as "The Scream".
Edvard Munch described his experience that served as inspiration for this work in the following way:
"One evening I was walking along a path, the city was on one side and the fjord below. I felt tired and ill. I stopped and looked out over the fjord—the sun was setting, and the clouds turning blood red. I sensed a scream passing through nature; it seemed to me that I heard the scream. I painted this picture, painted the clouds as actual blood. The color shrieked. This became The Scream."
