Hmm, if you don't mind me asking, why didn't you just ask your teacher that question? That's what teachers are for, right? If the question really just says "discuss the brushstrokes", that's exactly what you need to do. I don't want to do your homework for you, really, but a good point to start would be to state that you can actually see individual brushstrokes and then go on to questions like "How do you imagine Munch painting it? Does it look like he spent years working on the details, painting with a very fine brush?" Also, the picture probably had some sort of effect on you when you first saw it. Do you think that effect would be the same if you couldn't see the brushstrokes? Describe what the brushstrokes look like and what they do. Are they straight and and neat and is the entire picture covered with paint? You know, that sort of thing.
Another thing you might do if you don't mind a bit of extra work is to look at Munch's other Scream pictures (he painted and drew the same motive several times) and examine how the strokes differ from version to version. Or do they not differ at all, perhaps?

Actually I'm not letting you all do my homework. The project doesn't consist of one question and there are many other questions in the project I have already done them. This is the one I'm stuck in and I'm not asking you to give me the answer straightaway. I won't see the art teacher until next week and I'm doing art as a compulsory subject for this year. I'm not very experienced in paintings as most of the work we have done are drawing shapes,collages etc. I would look at the things you said and I appreaciate it
k: but first can anyone just give me a start showing one brushstroke feature. I know what are brushstrokes but can anyone please clearly explain it.
