More shaped canvases
As mentioned on an earlier post, students were to create an abstract shaped canvas that represented the essential qualities (as they have experienced it) of a them which might be a song, movie, memory, event, person, place, animal etc. The class is largely ESL and a mixture of grades 9-12.
Family
The Hunger Games
Good vs. Evil
Monster Eating People
Universe
Alive Again
Boat

Shaped Canvas
Inspired by Frank Stella and Elizabeth Murray, kids in my class which has an unusual class composition of grades 9-12, majority of which are ESL (2/3 of the class) and a handful of special needs plus a few IB 12 students who couldn't fit their timetable into the regular IB class. It's a challenge to say the least! But here are a few of the shaped canvas - or at least what they understood the project to be.

SELF PORTRAIT WITH TEXT AND IMAGE
The sketchbook assignment was self portrait that included text (ideally a variety of font) and simple drawings that told the viewer a minimum of 14 things about themselves. I gave them a list of questions that ranged from favorite junk food, most memorable birthday, do they believe in aliens etc. to act as prompts. The final drawing could be either in black fineliner and/or coloured pencil crayons.
