  Today, Cameron, Chris and I made some revisions for our Make A Mutant lesson. I'm very happy that we did, because in theory, I think our lesson is much stronger than how we originally presented it in class a few weeks ago. I regret not having it entirely together the day we taught; of course we thought it was! But I'm glad we could learn from our mistakes and revise them; I suppose that's why our class is called Theory&Practice.

   First we made a video demo of drawing the four different sketches for each section of the body. Then we made a video demo of the collaboration of the different forms of the body coming together as one creature. This included drawing the frontal view, profile, and back view.
   After, we made video demos of wedging, slipping and scoring.
     Then we made a video demo of translating the 2d sketch into a 3d sculpture, including things to keep in mind, like the weight of the clay being a concern for the legs and base of the sculpture.
   Lastly, we made a rubric that reflects the key elements of the entire step by step process of Make-A-Mutant.
  I feel wonderful as if our lesson plan is now true and complete! My apologies for not presenting it this flawlessly in class. If anyone is interested, the rubric is posted under my thread on black board, and the lesson plan is posted on Chris's, and soon the video demo will be recorded on his thread too.
