Kathe Kollwitz

  On Monday, I got to go through Kathe Kollwitz Museum and see her painting. Her painting have this deep, depressing aura that captures your attraction and makes you ponder on her pieces. I can feel her emotion through the painting. Kathe Kollwitz is a German artist know for her etching and sculptures. She married Karl Kollwitz, a doctor, against her parents wishes because they thought getting married would ruin her art career. Instead it was the opposite. Karl was willing to take care of the kids while she etching. Kathe used to paint the working class before her son died in World War One. After that, her pieces focus  on grieving parents, especially mothers.  I think what makes contribution so important is how well she capture so much emotion in her work while  barely having anything on her pages. She was able to show the depressing side of World War Two. After the War, she was the first women ever to be a professor at the Prussian Academy of Arts (wikipedia) but d...

Skansen Open air museum

Image
  On Thursday, I got to go through the Skansen Open Air museum in Stockholm. This museum was so cool to walk around because it took you back in time to Sweden before the industrial era. It is also the oldest open air museum. In the museum, they have a zoo, little villages to learn about history, and markets. There were people dressed in olden, traditional clothes who give you information about houses and how the people lived back then. I got to walk into this one house and learn how people back then kept their homes warm warm. This house had no chimney and held sand in the roof so that the smoke would stay in the house and warm the house all day. I also liked how the workers really got into their parts and were proud to portray their past.  I think Skansen the open air Museum is important historically and culturally to Stockholm. It is important historically because the museum exhibit the history of Stockholm/Sweden and how people in the past use to live. It brings the past ba...
