Students started by sketching ideas for their superhero selfie. We talked about using shapes to create out bodies: rectangles for the torso and shapes for the arms and legs, etc.
We also talked about masks, capes and symbols. When the kids were finished with their super hero, they traced them in Sharpie. Before coloring, we discussed about finding our skin tone. We also talked about limiting our color palette to three colors for our super hero costume. Checking out Superman, Spiderman and Ironman really helped them understand the idea of a limited palette. Some kids added a sidekick to their super hero selfie.
Kids decided what powers their super hero has and in what type of environment they want to place their superhero. Some chose a city scape, landscape or in outer space.
Once complete, the super heroes were cut out carefully before being glued into the cityscape masterpiece. Here are some images of their hard work.
