In Greek mythology, Psyche was a beautiful princess who fell in love with Eros (Cupid), god of love, and went through terrible trials before being allowed to marry him. The story is often understood to be about the soul redeeming itself through love. (To the Greeks, <em>psyche<\/em> also meant &#8220;butterfly&#8221;, which suggests how they imagined the soul.) In English, <em>psyche<\/em> often sounds less spiritual than <em>soul<\/em>, less intellectual than <em>mind<\/em>, and more private than <em>personality<\/em>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>(Text source merriam-webster.com)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I Googled \u201cThe world I live in\u201c to see what I can find and I came across a book by \u00a0Helen Keller, no relation to me, a this video b Maggie Huang.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The World I Live In\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/510030339?h=4e1d2722b4&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"956\" height=\"632\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Moving forward from the portrait work we have been doing, from realistic to a more abstract approach, we will start for working on a LARGE portrait based on <span style=\"color: #000080\"><strong>YOU<\/strong><\/span> and Expressionism.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<address>German Expressionism, <a href=\"https:\/\/duckduckgo.com\/?q=german+expressionism+art+movement&amp;iar=images&amp;iax=images&amp;ia=images\">let&#8217;s, take a look at some images<\/a><\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<address>https:\/\/youtu.be\/MLhDLL3MjSs\u00a0<\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<address><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MLhDLL3MjSs\">Video on\u00a0<\/a>Expressionism<\/strong><\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<address>Expressionism developed during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Expressionism was opposed to academic standards that had prevailed in Europe and emphasized artist&#8217;s subjective emotion, which overrides fidelity to the actual appearance of things. The subjects of expressionist works were frequently distorted, or otherwise altered. Landmarks of this movement were violent colors and exaggerated lines that helped contain intense emotional expression. Application of formal elements is vivid, jarring, violent, or dynamic. Expressionist were trying to pinpoint the expression of inner experience rather than solely realistic portrayal, seeking to depict not objective reality but the subjective emotions and responses that objects and events arouse in them.<\/address>\n<address>The expressionistic tradition was significantly, rose to the emergence with a series of paintings of Dutch painter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntfor.com\/arthistory\/c19th\/pimpressionism.htm\">Vincent van Gogh<\/a> from the last year and a half of his life. There was recorded his heightened emotional state. One of the earliest and most famous examples of Expressionism is Gogh&#8217;s &#8220;The Starry Night.&#8221; Whatever was cause, it cannot be denied that a great many artists of this period assumed that the chief function of art was to express their intense feelings to the world.<br \/>\nThe Belgian painter and printmaker James Ensor was such an artist &#8211; with his sense of isolation.<br \/>\nThe Norwegian painter and printmaker <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntfor.com\/arthistory\/c19th\/pimpressionism.htm\">Edvard Munch<\/a> dealt &#8211; with different fears.<br \/>\nThe Vienesse painters Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele first started with their expressionistic styles within Klimt&#8217;s circle of the Vienna Secession. Vienesse Expressionism later gained significance between years 1905 and 1918 during a politically and culturally turbulent era of revelation of the profoundly problematic conditions of the turn-of-the-century Europe.<br \/>\nIn the years just around 1910 the expressionistic approach pioneered by Ensor, Munch, and van Gogh, in particular, was developed in the work of three artists&#8217; groups: the Fauves, Die Brucke, Der Blaue Reiter. \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huntfor.com\/arthistory\/C20th\/expressionism.htm\">http:\/\/www.huntfor.com\/arthistory\/C20th\/expressionism.htm<\/a><\/address>\n<address>\u00a0<\/address>\n<address>So \u201cHOW ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS?\u201d<\/address>\n<address>here\u2019s one idea:<\/address>\n<p>You can base this portrait on yourself and something you experienced. \u00a0Or something emotional that you witnessed. \u00a0We will be working on 18&#215;24&#8243; black paper. \u00a0You might want to start in pencil\/pencil crayons but you will most likely get the BEST results if you complete the work in oil pastel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Re-read the introduction and think about what it means to you.
