For Tuesday: Art Response #2: Edvard Munch (preparing for Sherlock Holmes!)



If you missed class today (Thursday) because of the icy roads, no big deal--I didn't count you absent. However, we did finish our discussion of Frankenstein (a lot of fun!) and will be moving ahead next week. See the post below this one for the revised schedule, barring any more snow/ice days! 

For Tuesday, we'll do another in-class writing to a painting by the Norwegian painter, Edvard Munch, who complements some aspects of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. The painting above is one of his famous ones, and might be a depiction of the streets of Holmes' London itself, "Evening on Karl Johan Street," though I won't be using that one in class on Tuesday. However, it might be one you decide to use in your Art & Literature Paper, should you chose to do it.

For Thursday, we'll be reading the first two stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, which are "A Scandal in Bohemia" and "A Case of Identity." So feel free to read ahead. I'll post questions for them after Tuesday's class.

See you next week!
