The most important memories I’ve made here center on the relationships I’ve built with professors, and the times when I’ve been challenged to dig deeper into the material and to think in completely different ways. The experiences I cherish most are those when I’ve sat in the classroom, listening to a lecture, and that theory I’ve been studying so hard to really understand finally makes sense, all the pieces finally fit together.

A leading artist of the expressionist and symbolist movements, Munch often used the sea to convey emotions and moods. His depictions of women are complex as well, revealing his experiences with relationships, loss and grief in scenes played out on rocky shores and sinuous coastlines. “Munch was a person who experienced life intensely, who felt deeply, and his images reflect that.
