The document discusses how artists like Van Gogh and Edvard Munch expressed their psychological disorders through their artworks. Students are asked to choose either Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" or Munch's "The Scream" and analyze how the painting depicts the artist's anxiety or depression through a 300-400 word essay. The essay should first describe what is seen in the painting using spatial order, then explain how the central idea relates to the artist's psychological state.
