Scream

As many of my fellow peers have express, Halloween day may not be the best day to teach a new concept or test out a new strategy, because chances are students on this very exciting day will have a difficult time concentrating fully on an assignment with their neighboring peers in costume, the make up on their face itching or the colorful wig that goes with their costume is making them too hot, the distractions are endless. 

On Halloween day I was able to do a visual art activity focusing on the famous painting title “The Scream,” by artist Edvard Munch.  I felt that this painting fitted nicely in with the theme of the day, the distractions, the spookiness, and the fun. 

The focus of the activity was the warm and wavy colours in the sunset and cool colours in the water.  The rest of the picture was what up to their imagination. 




This is a sample from one of the students in my practicum class.
