Over the past few weeks I have been constantly reminded of the movie "The Da Vinci Code." It included pieces of art that we have discussed in class. I always have a little burst of excitement when I notice something from class in a movie or on TV.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784920957559623538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-28340785877698069032016-02-20T17:39:42.182-06:002016-02-20T17:39:42.182-06:00I went to a building downtown the other day for an...I went to a building downtown the other day for an interview for a prestigious scholarship at UVA. Due to the importance and severity of this interview, I was very nervous. The first thing I saw on the table in what you could call the "waiting room" was a book of 20th century Impressionist art. On the cover of the book was Munch's The Scream. I thought to myself, "Well, how perfect is this." I thought it might even be a sign. The painting depicted perfectly my own feelings and emotions I was experiencing. I was internally screaming to myself as I was waiting to be interviewed. Like you said, Munch's goal wasn't to project his figure as outwardly distraught, and of course I didn't let my emotions be known to my competitors. All of my fear stemmed from and bubbled within inside of me.Abbey Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595499240598238524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953690364532718935.post-43448132260154562392016-02-06T23:20:34.657-06:002016-02-06T23:20:34.657-06:00I think it is interesting you said this.

I know for a fact no person really looks like this man in the painting so why depict someone this way. Even if the artist didn't mean to, the subject seems very terrifying. Whenever I think of the mask I think of the scary movies and the parodies of scary movies. This seems to be the mask that directors go to as the "perfect" killer mask. I wonder how it got its negative connotation if the artist didn't mean it in that way. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01320390744004009112noreply@blogger.com
