2G ARTISTS ROCK!
Enjoy today’s art-heavy BE KIND blog post.
We have illustrated stories to share.
And remarkable silver-foil-based art projects!
STORY STRUCTURE
Story structure isn’t obvious. For children, story telling often starts with “one thing happening after another.”
Later, some teacher wants STRUCTURE!
In 2G we’ve started with a simplified version of the Hero/ine Cycle:
Character — who is your main character?
Setting — where does your story take place?
Ordinary day — what is your character doing “before it all begins?”
BIG EVENT! — what happens that starts your story?
Journey / challenges — what happens after the BIG EVENT? A journey? Challenges?
Successful end — we’ve added “successful” since some students like to end stories with “everyone died”! : )
Earlier in the week, 2G roughed out a story based on this structure.
Today (Friday) they told their story in graphic form.
We think 2G outdid themselves!
ART PROJECT HINDU GOD/DESSES
Ms. Kim introduced a wonderful new technique to 2G: color-Sharpie painting on silver foil — and a clever way of getting drawings from paper to foil.
Just wait ‘til your eyes actually fall on these masterpieces!
Coming up soon…
