Coming soon! Cross Contour Masterpieces of both idea and technical proficiency!
GOOOOOD MORNING sixth Grade! I know how much you like crazy, weird assignments! That is why we will be doing this assignment as we move into the week BEFORE SPRING Break. I know we are all a little antsy! But you'll love this assignment because you have to move around a lot. Notice I didn't say streak through the classroom like you have wings on your feet. Or, maybe you have a conceptual reason to do that. Hmmm. Let's talk. You might even have to visit the patio to proceed.
NOW that I have your complete attention, you will be doing a 3D assignment - that's right - its sculptural.
BODY EXTENSIONS Project --- We will take a look at our skeleton, "Scully" and figure out what the bones are for. We will also brainstorm about what our hands are for, what our feet are for, what our nose is for! The assignment is to exaggerate and enhance the purpose of the our body parts. For example, our breast bone protects our heart! What type of wearable art could you craft that would exaggerate that purpose? If our fingers are for nimble grabbing, what type of Exaggerated fingers could we create? This is wearable art, but art that could also be displayed! So, I guess that means that if you make a cool one, you'll have to come to the art show and walk around modeling your artwork!
I wonder if someone is already thinking about what our booty is for? NOOOOOOOOOoooooo!
Can anyone bring in foil? We will also use banner paper. And what other recycled or unexpected supply can you locate?

Online 6th Grade Assignment: View the above video. Wow, this is crazy! Would you say this designer is an artist, engineer or scientist? Be prepared for discussion in class!
Maverick Whisperers! This paper was bigger than the students! I just knew the sixth graders would love to draw huge! But then I noticed that our little arms weren't long enough to reach! But that's o.k., because I saw you running around to the other side of the table to keep going. What a great effort and enchanting image. Great job!!
What happens when you actively use texture, think about negative space, include nature and architecture? Something very wonderful :)
