My mentor is very confident and funny; this really keeps her students attention. Her and her students have been working on fun portraits, or portraits of portraits, opposed to realism. We made characters, where the students are given a situation, and then they draw a comical reflection of their face which expresses the emotion of the situation they received.
They also made name art, where they fold the paper in half, write their name in cursive, then write the mirror image of their name on the other half. After, they turn the paper sideways and look for hidden images within, which they then begin to draw in detail within and outside the letters of the name.
I'm going to be leading an activity on gesture drawing, to help students envision what they want their self portrait Giacometti sculpture to do.
One thing that Mrs. Clark, my mentor said to the students that spoke to me too; during her colored pencil demo she said "Don't be a weenie," influencing the students to really take advantage of the prisma colored pencils, pressing hard, to get the full lovely effect that they are capable of creating. I then realized that one of my drawings showed weak signs of the weenie, and I went back in and made my colors more vibrant. This demo got laughs from students, and promoted a hard working and fun atmosphere. I am impressed
This is the beginning faze of my Giacometti; I gave her a place, the garden, clothes, my favorite pink! and a pallet, paint brush, and in progress painting. Soon she will have Popsicle stick easel holding the painting.
This is my name art. I found a fairy princess in my first name.
this is my character; my situation: Two twins approach you, and you cannot tell them apart.
