Halloween history and the Stingy Jack Legend

                         

                         Halloween ppt from marinosa

In order to understand where this well-known popular Irish tradition comes from, we devoted one session to telling the story of Stingy Jack, the origin of the present famous pumpkin  we use on Halloween  to scare away the evil spirits.  

According to an Irish legend, Stingy Jack used to be a scoundrel fond of drinking and evil. On two occasions the Devil came for his soul but Jack played a trick on him avoiding death. When he finally died, unable to enter Heaven because of his evil behaviou in lifer, he went down to Hell's door where he met the Devil, who, keeping his word, took revenge on Jack and did not let him in. That's why Stingy Jack was punished to wander in the dark with a burning coal as a lantern for the rest of eternity.

Read this old Irish story about how the scoundrel "Stingy Jack" became " Jack-o-lantern' , the popular scary pumpkin. Click here for reading the story : Legend of Stingy Jack,

Understanding colour and its subjective use in art

Let us analyse colour from an objective and subjective approach: types of colours, their relationship to one another and its function in the French movement The Fauves, led by Henri Matisse, who revolutionised the use of colours in painting  in order to use them as an expressive element of the artist's vision of the world.
