“Paint Like” Edvard Munch – The Scream: A VisArts & DukeCreate Collaboration
Partnership with DukeCreate & VisArts
About the Workshop
Join Duke University Union (DUU) committee member, VisArts, and DukeCreate in our third of four “Paint Like” offerings!
In The Scream (1893), Norwegian expressionist artist Edvard Munch defined how we see our own age – racked with anxiety and uncertainty. In this workshop, we will be recreating this famous, emotive work and also learning how to use color compliments to create emphasis and movement. At the completion of this workshop, participants will leave with a completed 11×14 painting.
