Gustave Moreau was born in Paris to a wealthy middle-class family in 1826. His father, an architect, ensured that Moreau received an education in the classics, while his mother, a talented musician, doted on him due to his poor health as a child. When he was 13, his sister Camille died, and Moreau was taken out of school because of illness. When he was 15, he visited Italy and quickly developed a keen interest in art.That is when his love for art began.

Materials used- Wooden board, carving tools, Black, yellow, red, green, blue ink, ink rollers ,A3 paper, newspaper, pencil, black pen, tray
Process- Firstly I took a wooden board, used a pencil and outlined the scream in detail. Secondly I used a black pen onto the pencil sketch to make it more visible when carving. Thirdly I used cutting tools provided by the teacher to carve out the black lines(it took a very long time).Next I just used a tray to put all the selected ink onto the tray and used an ink roller to spread it out evenly. Then I used the contaminated ink roller and rolled it on the wooden board. Lastly I just placed the wooden board covered in ink on a piece of A3 paper and did it multiple times with roughly the same colors.
Reflection- What's different from the scream and my work is mostly the colors. The original used red and orange for the sky to show anger and fury but I used a galaxy theme to show darkness and loneliness. It looks like it's uncontrolled and messy which is what I was aiming for because I want the person who is seeing this feel the confusion Munch must have felt. Using this media can show more on a darker level, for example when you spray a specific color, that's the only thing it will show since the colors are very noticeable ; I liked how the colors cooperate with one another and that I can see clearly that I am replicating "The Scream" painting. I disliked how there were a lot of mistakes with the carving process(looks very messy). I can improve with learning new carving techniques; This would be my second time doing wood carving, it is interesting but it takes a long time and its hard.

Media Test 2:Oil Pastel Drawing-Replicating the scream

Media Test 2:Oil Pastel Drawing-Replicating the scream

# data[].attributes.body
Materials used-Oil pastels: Dark blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Brown, White pastel.
Process- I followed step by step of the person in the video that Ms. Bee gave us in class. First I used colored pastels to just outline the base and later used the white pastel to smooth it out to let it blend.
Reflection- My work doesn't feel as intense as the meaning of the original scream. It looks more peaceful because I want to show more happiness than sadness cause life is too short to feel unhappy. Just a bit of positivity from other people can make someone feel so much better. Using this media, it makes drawings more happy and joyful shown from the colors ,and it looks very smooth when it is blended. Overall this is my end result for the second media experiment. The colors I used for the sky are red, orange, yellow and a hint of blue. I blend the pastel mostly with my hands. I like how I tried my best with blending the pastel together. Not that great but it is not too bad. I don’t like how my bridge looks 2D, I could have made it more realistic. It was personally hard for me, it looks like a five year old’s drawing but I would do better next time, the blending is the one that really needs improving.

Media Test 3:Collage-Inspired by the Scream

Media Test 3:Collage-Inspired by the Scream

# data[].attributes.body
Materials used-Newspapers, Magazines and (recycled paper with paint).
Process-  What I want to show is how mankind which is represented by that creature devouring everything, what a well functioned human being  would want in life. For example being rich represented from the credit card, and nice skin/ appearance which is represented from that famous Chinese singer;90 percent of the collage is used from magazine covers, the rest is from recycled paper. I cut the things needed and just placed them one after the other, to make them look like their really close to each other since they are in the process of being devoured.
Reflection- The meaning from my work in my collage is completely different from the original. When Munch's painting is about his mental illness, mine is  about how people want what they don't have. For example wealth and nice skin. The more selfish things really. The creature is devouring all that it wants but he feels absolutely nothing. This media shows more on creativity, it makes things more fun and enjoyable seeing different pictures contrasting with one another. I like how the images and the colors contrast with one another, I would say it is acceptable since it is my first time. I don't like how the creature is not that visible as well as looking very messy. Next time I will try to show more of what I want to explain in the collage to more clear :)

Materials used- Black carboard paper, white and black chalk, paper.
Process- Firstly I took a black piece of carboard paper that the teacher gave us in class as my base. Secondly I used a white chalk/pastel to draw out the lines needed replicating the scream painting which are lines of the sky, the bridge and the two figures on the left corner. I used my hands to blend it to the paper, it gives a very nice foggy vibe. Thirdly I used the black chalk above and below the white lines to make the white lines pop out, looks more 3D. I added extra layers of the white chalk for final touches(more visible). Lastly I just added a picture of me screaming in a black and white filter and then a masterpiece was created.
Reflection- My work looks like it came from a hunted movie with ghosts. Instead of the figure shown in the original, I put myself in. It is me covering the bottom half of my face to show me frightened like what I do when I see a scary movie. This media can make any painting more spooky and dangerous from just using black ad white; I liked how I blended the white chalk very nicely. Love that foggy effect. I disliked how the bridge looks somewhat out of proportion, not as well done as the sky. I had the same problem when doing the oil pastel. I can improve by making the bridge look more realistic and not out of proportion, but overall not too bad.

What is the first thing you see? It is the colored wheels right? That's what people see first, the bright side of things. It's like when someone smiles, you only see the happiness, the beauty of it but not the pain that individual is feeling. I want to show how people are blinded by the beauty of it all but not noticing the sadness of it all which in this case the sadness represents the two girls at the back.

# data[].attributes.body
It looks like two girls that shows two different types of emotions. The girl on the top of the slide, enjoying the sun and living life at her fullest. The one below the slide hid her face from the world, under the shadows of the slide. I want to show there is always people that are sad and lonely but they just have to work their way up the slide into a more positive direction.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a photoshopped version of the pervious image to your left that was made by Ada. It made the girl that was on the top of the slide way more visible, filled with sparkles around her showing the happiness the sun brought to her. While the girl on the bottom left corner is not with the same proportion as the one on top of the slide for it to show how small she feels that you can barley even see her.

# data[].attributes.body
This shows the two sides of two different girls with the same theme as the other images. The left shows the mood of the girl since she is feeling lonely using black and white to show her sadness and anger towards life. While on the right shows the warmth, the gratitude and positivity it brings out of her. Same place but seems like two different worlds.

In my mind map, what I want to express is things that are unseen. For example, in today's love society people only talk about how painful it is to be broken. But what about the person who caused the heartbreak. That individual will still feel the same amount of pain just so not to break anyone's heart. A second example would be bullying. There is always a reason for the bully to bully someone. Maybe he/she was stressed, or had a past trauma as a child. There is always a reason for every action, for every hurt, for every pain. It is just somehow unseen. People just needs to know that beneath that layer of hatred, greed and bitterness, it is just a person who was once broken and chose to use some type of emotion to feel better. In my painting, I want to draw a food chain of where there it symbolizes the stages as well as the process of one's pain. It will all line up, like a prey gets eaten by it's predator. My inspiration came from the images I took during class time. Two sides that tell different stories, that are mostly about pain that cannot be seen. If you didn't add the filters that made the made the colors black and white on the left, you won't even notice which girl was sad, and which one was happy. I also got inspired from science class in 7th grade when I learned about the food chain.

# data[].attributes.body
So what I am trying to present is similar to a food chain. I want to give the illusion of something eating off from another. At the very bottom, you can see a teddy bear which is old with stiches on it. Which means it has been used and left out when it has no more use to the individual anymore. Next to your left you can see somewhat of a figure, which is a shadow. I am trying to show how the color darkness can do to a person and how it makes people so lonely and empty. On the right you have of what looks like a very messed up drawing. More people remember nightmares than dreams, so I created something that looks messed up to the human mind which was inspired by Kandinsky's artworks to show confusion with a lot of distractions. Lastly at the very top you would have start to question my choice on why there is a fish. Well I chose to draw a fish because it is my best friends fear and you can see that fear can be anything. Big or small,  it is what conquers humans that affect their emotion and behavior. I like how I am able to draw with detail within the food chain and the vines around it, with gives a very nice affect. I disliked how the colors are not well mixed and smooth enough but this is my first time, so I would say it is alright. The thing I can improve the most is with mixing the colors more smoothly so it can look more natural. (I am just going to keep awkwardly encourage myself, so well done me)

So for my final painting I will be focusing on emotions. In the painting the most noticeable thing will be a giant . It is a very narcissistic and selfish giant that only cares about himself. He is the guardian of souls, and in his hands his holding a basket. Inside of the basket is full of souls, but the basket has a hole in it. You can see that there is a hole. Souls are falling down from the basket and gets stepped by skeletons. Each skeleton represents an emotion. You can tell which emotion by the color they have. The happy emotion will be seen missing a step, because life is full of obstacles and your not always the lucky one that gets stepped on by happiness. But the world is a cruel place and people just have to deal with that.

Name of piece: The Touch of Faith
Materials used: water color, water, canvas, brush pen
Process: Firstly I decided on what colors I will use for my final painting. I decided to make the colors darker so the audience can have a sense of empathy. I first drew the mountains by mixing black and white to have form a dark grey shade. After drying it, I mixed it with some blue for the sky. Then I moved on to the earth. Like I said I used more darker colors, so darker blue and darker green. Then it is the infamous skeleton king. I decided to use black to show his spread of negativity. I also painted the souls black to show that the souls are motionless at the start. Next I painted the skeletons with different colors, to represent different types of emotions. I used a darker green for the giant to make him look more dull because I don't want it to be the main thing that people see but the souls. Lastly I just mixed up the colors from dark to light for the background to show that the atmosphere is ruff. Note: I have not completely finished the painting yet.
Idea: Using the idea from the mind-map I have made it into my final painting. I did add a few changes but I will explain those changes further on. This is the second time I used water color and I saw a lot of improvements. But first let me explain my final idea. It's a story but also a myth about why people have certain types of emotions and why people cope with their feelings through one emotion that people feel comfortable with. It starts with a big green giant, the giant is the one responsible for taking the souls to the other side of the galaxy so they can be transported to earth . But the giant is very selfish and greedy, so he did not care at all of what happens to the souls if they get lost. The king of emotions (surrealism) , which is the skull king saw this incident and decided to send his minions down from the hill so they can be destined with their fate. Each minion symbolizes different emotions. For example: fear, anger and happiness. In my painting it only showed two emotions, anger and happiness because these to are the main emotion the people use. Only the lucky one's get to be destined to be happy. While the others get anger or fear. After they have been distended the souls will fall down to earth when a fetus starts to develop. I got the inspiration from the souls falling to earth from one of Rene Magritte's paintings, Golconda. I also got the mountain idea from The Glass Key. This is my version on why we humans get different emotions.
Reflection: I really liked how I drew my planet and the mountains. For the mountains I first added a light grey, then I added dark tones to smooth out the tones, that made the colors pop which I am really proud of. For earth I like how the two colors correspond with each other, which looks very aesthetic. I disliked on how the giant turned out to look. I wanted to add more detail on it's facial expressions to show his greed. But for this little time I just drew the figure of the giant. I can improve on the techniques of water coloring so the darker and the lighter shades will look better together. But I enjoy how water coloring works and I would really like to do it again. Overall I enjoyed it very much :)
