Metamorphosis Unit
Objectives
-Reflect of personal growth to evoke artwork
-Utilize different media to create meaning
-Create multiple works side by side to demonstrate a common theme
So... what are we ACTUALLY doing Miss Creech???
a. Brainstorming on what kind of person we used to be, who we are now, and
who we plan on being or see ourselves becoming in the future. (AKA the
“METAMORPHOSIS” of ourselves!) ***three different works of art
b. Deciding how best to communicate those messages in “a.” by medium and
figure/portrait depiction.
c. Create a triptych (three works of art side by side). First piece=who we used to
be + second piece=who we are now + third piece=who we see ourselves
becoming = bomb.com
“Please show us an example!” - the class

Today’s GOALS
-RESEARCH!
-Compile a “bag of tricks” - look up different techniques artists use when
creating figure and portraits (think about what technique you might like to use in
your project)
-Create a Google Slides of images from your research - post it to “that
google thing” so I can see :)
