Creature Portraits: 3rd


Week 2 of the 2013-2014 school year brought us these fun "creature" portraits.  Week 1 we reviewed self portraits & created a full body "normal" portrait with an interesting place for the background.  This week I wanted to continue with portraits, but put a fun spin on it for my students.  We started with "normal" instruction for portraiture.  After they spent sometime with a mirror, pencil, and paper...I introduced THE TWIST!  The kids LOVED it!!!  Some did a lot of erasing...others just added onto themselves.  
We also discussed taking our creatures & creating a story based off of them.  I've got to look at the curriculum, but I'd really like to pursue them writing some & drawing a narrative to go along with these!



OK...LOOK AT THIS NEXT ONE & THINK ICONIC MOVIE CHARACTER!
GIVE UP?
Here is a hint...."BABYRUTH"
