This Scream art project combines Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” face with some blow paint fun for all kinds of expressionist possibilities.
I wish it was my brilliant idea to mix blow painting with a “Scream” self portrait, but I actually found it online from a woman named Joslyn who first posted it on her blog in 2011. She has further tips and a recommended book so please check it out HERE. Thanks Joslyn, it’s a super popular project idea!
It only takes a few tweaks to draw yourself as if you are screaming. The mouth, of course, needs to be open wide, but you also need to slide your features up a bit to get that look of a raised face. I made a tutorial that you can download and print so all your students can see this little changes for themself.
