Start by spreading the images out and let people pick which art they want to discuss. Or, select one card ahead of time for your small group. [Note: Paper and pen may be needed for a drawing activity.]

ObserveLook at the art together and begin by asking the first question, “What do you notice?” You can easily expand on that question by asking, “What story is the artist telling?” or “Is there anything you would like to ask the artist?” Be sure to read the topic title and attribution before going on to question 2.

ListenPay attention to what everyone says about the art and the topic. If you are facilitating the discussion, occasionally restate what someone has said. Listen for a new perspective.

ShareWhile discussing the topic, share experiences, feelings, thoughts, and pictures with each other. Everyone should have a chance to contribute. Don’t be afraid of feeling uncomfortable.

GrowAs we journey together while looking at art and discussing vital topics, we hope to grow in empathy, compassion, truth, and peace. Mother Teresa said, “If we have not peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

Scream!The Scream, 1895. Edvard Munch, Norwegian. The Munch Museum, Oslo.

1. What do you notice in this work of art?

2. Why do you think people sometimes feel like screaming? Tell a story about when you screamed.

3. Choose a or b below:a. Nobel Prize-

winning author Elias Canetti wrote, “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in dreams.” What do you think he means? Is there anything that screams at you?

4. Edvard Munch described what inspired his painting: “My friends went on—I stood there trembling with anxiety—and I felt a vast infinite scream [tear] through nature.” Draw a picture or find a digital image of people screaming. Tell what may have prompted the scream.

22

b. One night, Jesus’s disciples were rowing across the Sea of Galilee. Suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water coming toward them. They screamed in terror, thinking they were seeing a ghost. Jesus said, “Take courage, it is I. Don’t be afraid” (Matthew 14:27). When he climbed into the boat, the storm died down. How might Jesus and his words give us courage in the midst of life’s storms?
