4. Doodle Portrait
Let’s have some fun!
I want you to draw a picture of yourself screaming.
I mean really letting it go! Show me all of the things that your
face would be doing if your scream could be heard around
the world!
You are going to have to think about all kinds of lines and
shapes that would show me the energy to scream.
Your paper should be filled with lines and shapes showing lots
and lots of energy and power. All of your paper should be
filled with marks that express how you would look and feel.
Draw a picture of yourself screaming right now! Show me
what you’ve got!
Don’t be shy, after all you’re screaming.
You have 15 minutes.

There are many ways to show emotion using
elements of art and principles of visual design.
Think about lines: thick and thin, short and long, wavy,
jagged, etc. What lines can you group together to
create patterns that might show movement in your
face when they are repeated? You are only limited by
your imagination.
Think about shape: geometric or organic shapes can
help express emotion. What shapes can you use to
show screaming in eyes, mouth, lips, ears, hair, etc.
Think about color: in this case the color will be the black
marker to express the feeling of screaming by creating
patterns.
Think about space: how will you fill the negative space
around your portrait and the positive space within your
portrait?

6. Here’s me screaming.
Get a paper and pencil and collect information by
using your visual literacy skills.
1. Write down all the names of the lines and shapes
that you can find.
2. Tell me how those shapes and lines are being used to
show me screaming.
3. Did you use any of the same lines that I used? Explain
your answer.
4. Describe how I filled in all the space (negative and
positive) on the paper .
5. Which Doodle artist do you want to know more
about?
Joan Miro – uses bright color and many curved shapes;
Paul Klee – likes primitive and children’s art or
Wassily Kandinsky – uses bright swirling colors and
geometric shapes?
Use proper headings and type your answers, then email
your paper . On the next slide, you will find a link to your
doodle artist. Artist: Margo Dupre, Oct 2014
