Instructions:

Create your own version of the scream. 

    1. Design a screaming character large on the page. Be expressive. The character should be drawn in such a way that the lines, shape, color and texture express an emotion. The character needs to be 100% original (no Batman).

    2. Fill the background with images of things that make you want to scream. The images can be real or abstract but should be drawn in a way that makes the view understand how you feel about them. REMEMBER—there are many reasons one might scream, because your are excited, sad, afraid or it could be almost any emotion. Because all emotion, when felt strong enough, can make you want to scream.

    3. Remember don’t draw realistically, draw with feeling and emotion.

    4. Be creative and take risks.

    5. Take a picture of your art and upload it to google classroom.
