Identity Silhouettes
5th grade had a blast using the old projector to trace their shadows.
Students studied the strange collage portraits of 15th century painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
Students looked at Arcimboldo series The Four Seasons. Class analyzed what objects, colors, and symbols represent each season.
Students discussed symbolism in art and symbolism of their own personal identity.
Students took turns, by table color, to work with a projector to trace their silhouettes.
While waiting their turn, students brainstormed and created a "mind map" of symbols that might represent themselves. Later, students used their "mind map" to help draw symbols and brainstorm their silhouettes design.
These made an awesome display for our campuses, Open House, back to school event.
