Drinkers

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting called "Drinkers." It was painted by an artist named Edvard Munch a long, long time ago – back in 1906! That's over one hundred years ago! nn What do you see in this painting?



That's right, there are four men sitting around a table. It looks like they're in a bar. What do you think they're talking about? nn

The colors in this painting are mostly greens, blues, and browns. Do those colors seem happy or sad to you? nn

You're right, they're pretty somber colors. The artist used these colors to make the painting feel a little bit sad and gloomy. nn

Now, let's look closely at the men's faces. Do they look like they're having fun? nn

No, they don't, do they? They actually look kind of sad and lonely. Even though they're together, they seem very far apart. The artist, Edvard Munch, was really interested in showing how people can feel lonely, even when they're surrounded by others. Have you ever felt that way? nn

This painting reminds us that everyone feels lonely sometimes. It's a normal part of being human. But it also reminds us to be kind to each other and to reach out to people who might be feeling alone. nn

Thank you for looking at this painting with me today! I hope you learned something new about art and about yourselves.
