What makes you scream?
Students will study Edvard Munch's painting The Scream. They will then produce their own scream using directional lines as Munch did. Line was used by Munch in a variety of directions—horizontal, vertical and diagonal. This will help the eye travel to the central theme of the composition: the person's fright or what they fear.
