ABOUT ANGER ANGER can be triggered by many different

things; an annoying sibling, failing a test that

you studied for, or a whole host of other things.

But what remains the same is the feeling in your

body when you experience anger; your face

gets red, your breathing and heart rate rise and

you just want to scream. Anger is a normal

human EMOTION, but can be hard to control

sometimes. When you get angry, it can be

helpful to have a plan in place, like taking three

big breaths, walking away until you cool down,

or counting to ten before you respond.

Have you ever felt so angry you thought you might just roar? In

this kinesthetic lesson, students will get to explore the emotion of

anger in a productive way by creating a scribbled and splatter

painted background. As they draw their tigers, they will learn

about the changes in our facial expressions when we are angry

in order to really make their tiger roar. Ravi’s Roar by Tom

Percival was the inspiration for this lesson and is a great read

aloud to get students to think about the emotion of anger.

What You’ll Need: 12” x 18” messy mat

9” x 12” white sulphite paper

Oil pastels

Pan watercolor

Medium round paintbrush

Sharpie (5-7 version only)

ANGRY LIKE A TIGER

National Core Arts Standard Connecting: Anchor Standard #10:

Synthesize and relate knowledge and

personal experiences to make art.

Making the background• Start with a 12” x 18” messy mat turned

VERTICAL. The messier, the better!

• Make a dot in the center of the messy mat with an oil pastel. Choose a color that represents anger

to you.

• From the center of the mat, make long,

EXPRESSIVE LINES that extend from the center to

the outer edge of your mat. Go back to the center,

then out again quickly, moving your entire arm as

you move around the mat in a circular motion.

•You’ll want to have another messy mat underneath

because students will likely get into a rhythm and go

off the edge of the page, which is great.

• Continue layering lines with at least three colors.

• It can be fun to have some fast music playing to

get students in the mood to move quickly.

• Next, add another layer of TEXTURE by splatter

painting with watercolor paint.

• To splatter paint, load your paintbrush with lots of

water and color. Hold in one hand, while you tap the

top of the paintbrush with the other hand.

• Repeat loading your paintbrush and

splattering, moving your paintbrush

around your mat to add splatter

everywhere.

• You can change colors if you wish.


Drawing the tiger• There are two different versions of tiger drawing

guides. The version on page six is for K-2, which is

simpler and more cartoon-like. The

version on page seven is for

3-4 and is more realistic and

detailed.

• Students in grades 5-7

have two sources images on

pages eight and nine. They

will draw from

OBSERVATION.

• Spend some time with students observing images of

roaring tigers compared to tigers with a neutral

expression. There is an example in the lesson slide

deck. What FACIAL EXPRESSION are they making?

How do their eyes look? Their nose and mouth?

• All drawings begin on a 9” x 12” piece of white

sulphite paper.

• For K-2 and 3-4, use the appropriate drawing guide

and draw with a black oil pastel.

• For 5-7, draw with a Sharpie.

• For all drawings, start with the nose and mouth first

near the center of the page. This will help to cement

the right size, or PROPORTION, for the tiger.

• Proportion is the size of one facial feature in relation

to others.

• TIP: For the observation drawing in grades 5-7, Fold

the drawing paper in half first to mark the center. This

will help students draw a face that is symmetrical.

Handouts on page 6 - 9


FINAL STEPS• Use pan watercolor paint to color in the tiger.

Don’t worry about painting the background.

• You can use the source images on page 8-9 to

help with color choices. Or you could project the

page on the board so all students have access to a

visual representation.

• For younger grades, they will likely paint flat

colors, like just orange for the tiger and pink for the

nose, but older grades can begin mixing colors and

adding a bit of VALUE to add some DIMENSION to

the painting.

• Think about where the SHADOWS would be, then

add darker values there.

• Allow the tiger to dry.

• Cut out along the outer edge.

• Glue to the background.

• Turn over your artwork and rub the back to adhere

the entire tiger.


Draw an upside-down

triangle near the center of

the paper for the nose. Add

two vertical lines going up.

Below the nose, draw a large

oval for the mouth. Add zig-

zag lines on the top and

bottom for the teeth. Color in

the inside of the mouth.

For the eyes, start near the

nose and draw two curved

lines going outward. Repeat

for other eye.

Draw a large oval around the

entire face for the head.

Add a curved line for an ear

on each side of the head.

Draw a zig-zag line inside

for fur. Color in.

Add thick stripes on the

face. Draw a slightly curved

line, then add another next

to it. Color in-between.

Repeat for each stripe.

Draw an upside-down

triangle near the center of

the paper for a nose.

Add two curved lines from

the bottom of the nose. Draw

a large “U” shape for the

open mouth. Add large top

and bottom teeth.

For each eye, start with a

curved line that extends

down further on the side

closest to the nose. Also add

a curved line on each side of

the nose.

Make a long, curved line that

dips down at the center for

the top of the head. Add zig-

zag lines down on each side

to the flat chin.

Add two pointed ears on

each side of the head. Draw a curved line inside

each ear and a zig-zag for

fur inside.

Draw thick stripes on the face

and ears.

Today I will learn about EMOTIONS

so that I CAN create an ANGRY tiger.

Today I will learn about LINE and TEXTURE so that I CAN use

EXPRESSIVE LINES and splatter painting to create an EXPRESSIVE

background.

Today I will learn about FACIAL EXPRESSIONS so that I CAN

draw a tiger that is expressing anger by observing the eyes, nose and

mouths of roaring tigers.
