This book looks like so much fun to make! Its nice to see recontextualization of simple shapes into something more complex. I like how you structured the picture making into recognized images, even though they are common, each student will make something slightly different, relating back to their own personal identity and point of view. Working with making art abstractly is a great skill to build as well.
ReplyDeleteI like that you used recontextualization and layering to have students work with abstract shapes to create an objective image. You are influencing students to use a variety of colors and shapes as well. I like that you are also providing some structure for the students but you are not telling them exactly what they should make. Having the students work abstractly could be beneficial as well, allowing them to create the image of their choice either objective or non-objective.
