Our
young art spent weeks becoming familiar with the routine of COLLAGE (arranging
shapes into an interesting design or picture and gluing them down) and using
different TEXTURES
(how something feels). We started by
discussing how a PUPPET
is a type of art that can be used to tell stories and play with! Once our young
artists realize they were making a toy, they become even more intrigued!
Each
student began with a small rectangle for the body with two holes for there
fingers to act as legs. Next, we
discussed the simple geometric shapes that make up out body. The last step was for students to start
cutting and gluing different shapes, patterns, and textures to create their own
finger puppet people. This unit
concluded with a discussion around the word DIAGOLOG
(when to characters talk to each other/have a conversation). We read the book My Friend is Sad by
Mo Williams and brainstormed what our puppets would say to one another if they
could have their own dialogue!
