Today I need to get my image onto my blog although I'm having trouble getting that running.

When I first saw "Dance on the Shore" I thoght it looked joyful. It looks like somewhere I would go, something I would do.I believe that joy and happiness can be just as intence as any other emotion, I think it has a lot to do with what it means to be human. The fact that a person can experience great pain(in a death or any other tragedy) and then, after that, can be truley happy again is essantial to our lives. I learned today that Edvard Munch is considered a pioneer in the expressionist movement.

What search engines did you use?

Yahoo, Kartoo, my favorite was Viewzi. I learned about Edvard Munch and his life on Viewzi. At an early age he lost his mother and shortly there after, his sister. This pain and suffering is reflected in his pieces such as "The Scream" and "Sick Child". "Dance on the Shore" is more light-hearted and soft which is what drew me to it.I am excited to learn more about "Dance on the Shore" and Edvard Munch

Have you chosen a piece of art?

I have decided to research "Dance on the Shore" by Edvard Munch.
I really like this piece because of its color and mood. I don't know anything about Edvard Munch so I am excited to learn about him.
