Project #3 Who inspires you?

Some classes have taken a break from the Mural project to tie up some loose ends on the upcoming PA High School Computer Fair.  Due to Jeremiah's schedule the classes involved are working at slightly different rates.  Today will be an introduction to the project for Ms. Crossley's 2D/ 3D classes while my Visual Communication Classes and Intro to Visual Art Class are on Project #3.  Currently we are all moving at a different pace, however, we should catch up or equal out with one another when we get into the real "meat" of the project.

Project #3 involves Inspiration and Portraits.  Students are asked who inspires them or rather who have they inspired, themselves.  They are also asked to create a portrait, either of themselves or of someone who has been an inspiration to them.  The portrait does not necessarily need to be literal.  Today we talked about some alternative ways to create a portrait that will capture the essence of a person.  Some ideas were: 

      -Collages of person's interests

      -Tissue Paper portraits

      -Digital Portraits

      -Text Portraits

      -Symbols that represent a person

To help student's get started they were asked to complete Project #3 worksheet.

This week is also PSSA testing week, therefore, the daily schedule has been changed and classes will not be consistent.   We will be starting to prepare the material that we will be creating the individual mural pieces on.  The Pellon Material will be painted with Gesso to start the process.
