Superhero Self-Portraits

Kindergarten Artist: "Super Lion Saver" 

For the final project of Mind Move Make for 2017, the students developed Everyday Superhero alter-egos!  I explained that their superhero selves needed to help other humans, animals, or planet Earth.  Their invented superpowers needed to be focused on making the world a better place.

The students took the skills and ideas developed in the figure drawing exercises and applied them to their superhero self-portrait.  They worked hard in their sketchbooks designing a logo for their superhero, along with details of their costumes.  Some students even decided to create a superhero pet sidekick!  It was fun to see what everyone came up with.

The Alameda students developed their designs a little differently then the TIS students.  They designed their creations on large pieces of paper on which they had a partner trace their body.  It was easier for them to find the proportions of the human body this way.

Here are a few picture of both the TIS and the Alameda students' final artworks.
