drawing Composition 2 in red blue and yellow, by Piet Mondrian, and the Scream by Edvard Munch. It was pretty easy for us to decide on painters, because we each found one painting that we liked, and then as a group we chose two of the best ones. We chose the Composition 2 in red blue and yellow because of its simplicity, it is simple yet modern and colorful. When we looked up Mondrian drawings, this one caught our eyes most.

naturally flirtatious, saying she has ‘got the eye’ and goes on to describe her as looking at other men before eventually calling her a "tart." This is then confirmed when Steinbeck describes her ‘full rouged lips’ and eyes ‘heavily made up’; the use of red lipstick, with the colour often considered provocative, and too much make-up for daytime use on a ranch, further shows Curley’s wife’s the symbolism of
was The Scream by Edvard Munch in 1893. I chose these two painting because I thought The Wivenhoe Essex reminded me of my cabin up north and the scenery of northern Minnesota with the lakes and pastures in the background. The Wivenhoe art piece looks like a modern day picture of a farm in Northern Minnesota. I chose the art piece The Scream because it is one of the most well-known pieces of art in history. I have learned about this piece of art since I was in elementary school. The Scream stands out

He lies on the couch and watches the news for a while. 7:30 rolls around and the real excitement starts to begin, his nightlife secret. He goes into his master bathroom, pulls open the closet doors, and pulls out a big Nike duffle bag.

Green butterflies erupt in my stomach, beating their paper wings violently. “You are not coming out!” Mom says, “You are staying there.” “No! I’m not!” I protest, pulling my hair and resting my forehead

masterpieces are kept safe. It is basically an oil painting but other media like tempera and pastels are also used in this painting. In some ways it is surprising that artist Edward Munch’s painting The Scream is one of the most famous paintings of all time. The Scream is known for its expressionistic colors, bright twirl sky, and the mysterious person clasping his miserable face and screaming in agony while standing alone on a pier. This masterpiece is autobiographical; an expressionistic construction based

yanked out my ear buds. That noise had to be a scream. It was a familiar noise, a scream of a girl filled my room. Then it stopped. I looked over the window beside my bed but there is nothing on the road 4 floors below. A nearby stoplight flickered for a moment a girl was standing underneath the yellow light and then she was gone.

In this sentence I imagine myself standing in the middle of
