Kummernis

Hello everyone! My name is Isabella, and I'm so excited to explore this amazing painting with you all today! It's called "Kummernis," which is a really big word, isn't it? Can anyone guess what it means? nn That's right! It means "sadness" or "grief" in German. Just by looking at this picture, can you tell why the artist named it "Kummernis?" nn Look closely at the person in the painting. What do you see? Do they look happy or sad? nn Yes, they look very sad! The artist used only black ink on this special beige paper to draw them. Even though there aren't any bright colors, don't you think the person's sadness still feels very strong? nn Now, look at the lines the artist used. Some are curvy, and some are straight. They almost look like they're moving, don't they? Maybe that's how the artist showed how confused and sad the person is feeling inside. nn Even though this painting is very old, it reminds us that everyone feels sad sometimes. It's okay to feel sad, and it's important to talk about our feelings with someone we trust. nn Let's move on to the next painting and see what other stories we can discover!
