During our first meeting we focused on three pieces “Richard Corey” by Edward Arlington Robinson, “The Scream” by Edvard Munch, and Britney Spears “If You Seek Amy.”
Richard Corey

- Personal interpretation

The Scream
http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~elotay/scream.html
- What does this painting mean?
- How does it being part of the series “Love” change the meaning?
- How does the title “The Shriek of Nature” change the meaning?
- “I was walking along a path with two friends—the sun was setting—suddenly the sky turned blood red—I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence—there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city—my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature.” How does the artists account change the meaning?
- What Makes these two pieces art?
If You Seek Amy

- Is this art? Why or why not?
- Is Britney an artist, or are the director, choreographer, writer, etc. the artists?
- Is Britney a medium for art?
- Is it art when view as art?
- What happens to the poem “Richard Corey” if the name is replaced with Britney Spears?
