If I was an animal...



Think about some characteristics that you have.  What words describe you?

Talkative?  Shy?  Funny?  Strong?  Loyal?

Could the words that describe you, also describe an animal?

What would that animal be?

Talkative?

Shy?

Funny?

Strong?

Loyal?

Powerpoint If I were an animal

Is there an animal you have a CONNECTION with?

More Ways to Show Who I Am


This week we continue to think about who we are, and how we can show that through our art.

We have been focusing on portraits which show what we LOOK like, but as artists we want to show more about WHO we are, WHAT we like and what is IMPORTANT to us.


Here are some examples of artists that have found interesting ways to solve that problem.

Portraits Can Show Who I Am

 Last week we learned how to make a Face Map to help us create a realistic portrait.


Did you create a portrait? Who did you make?

A portrait is one way we can show the world Who I Am

But people are more than just what they look like.

Can you show the things that are important to you in a portrait?

 Sometimes artists enter contests with a theme.

If you want to make a picture for the contest, you will draw first with a pencil, trace with a sharpie and color using colored pencils, crayons and markers.


If you decide to enter you will need to work on the picture 2 times and do your best. The winners will be announced on December 1st, so in about 4 weeks.


Good Luck!
