9-12yrs. Week 2: Adrian

Project: Story boards
Supplies:
12X24 Black Matte Board
Black felt tip markers (thin)
White drawing paper (will cut into section)
Tempura Paint
Creating a comic strip takes some time and thought. So I will reiterate some of the key ingredients, we learned from Jerzy, to making a perfect comic strip. They will also learn what Story boards are used for.

Project: Mini Cartoon Optical Illusion
Supplies:
White printer paper
Glue
Card board (cereal boxes are good too)
String
Crayons/Markers
Jar lid to trace or a compass.
This a fairly simple project. But it will entertain them. They will be making their very own mini cartoon optical illusion. With a bit os cardboard paint string they will be twirling their creation and see a “bolt of lightning in clouds”.

Project: Comic Book Cover
Supplies:
12x16 (?) Black matte board
11x14 White printer paper
Markers/pencils
When you go to a comic book convention, it is common to see the covers of different comic books displayed. They will brainstorm and create their very own comic book cover. When they are finished it will be mounted on the matte board for the finished result.

Project: Comic collage.
Supplies:
White glue
Comics from the newspaper (I will try to get my hand on as many as possible)
11x14 White tag board
(Under consideration- ) I will ask them to pick a character of their choice and create a silhouette. They will use comic strips to fill it.

Project: Draw-Along-Comic Story
Supplies:
12x28 Long strip of white paper
Pencils
In order to get them to tap into their creative side, they will listen to me read a short comic. As I’m reading they will sketch what they “see” from listening to me read. When I’m finished they will work to add color and bring it to life. After they have completed their Comic strip I will show then what the actual comic strip looked like and have them compare.

Project: Comic Word Art
Supplies:
Glitter
Paint
Markers
Construction Paper
They will create a page of comic sounds. Based on how they think they are spelled. Kind of like the exercise Jerzy had us do with the sound of Star wars. I will go over this with this so they have a better understanding of what they should kind of do.

Project: Sketch Book with Comic cover
Supplies:
Cardboard (cereal boxes will work)
Comic section from newspaper
White filler paper
White glue
Hole puncher
Metal ringlets (I may be able to find these)
Both sessions will create a sweet sketch book that they will use throughout the week and possible longer. They will collage the front and back of the cereal boxes. Once dry we will put them together and voila…Comic covered Sketch book.

Project: Child-Size Action Figure
Supplies:
Cardboard boxes (My mom is getting me a lot from her work Medium size and Large)
Fabric, lace, buttons etc.
Hot glue gun
White glue
Markers
I want them to make a mid-life size action figure. I want them to think about what kind of costume their action hero would wear. What their powers would be and I will have them write this out in a bio form and it will be adhered to the back of the figure. They will present them to class.
