The students started by picking a character, then listed their characteristics, and redrew it as is to pick up on any missed details. This way, they would be able to make their character recognizable even with realistic proportions. Adrian, a 7th grader, picked Mario. He noticed characteristics like Mario's blue eyes, red hat and shirt, and big eyebrows and mustache. |
Betty Rubble by Amanda, 8th grade This is a new project that I'm super excited about! I've always been intrigued by artists' human renditions of characters. Many characters have exaggerated features and unrealistic proportions so we started by analyzing and identifying them. We had some awesome discussion and came to a few realizations, including the observation that Disney princesses have incredibly tiny waists and may cause young girls to have a skewed body image. The students realized that they have been told by the media (not only Disney), that beauty is often times unreachable and unrealistic. Their assignment became this: take an animated character and give it realistic human proportions! Violet from the Incredibles by Hailey, 8th grade We had some cool action poses for a little extra challenge! See some of their quick sketches below. It was finally time to start sketching their character in realistic proportions. Check out how much Janea's drawing improved from her sketch! I was so impressed! How cute is this older version of Dora by Maddy (8th)?! Of course, we had to have our Frozen characters! Olaf became a man and Elsa's dress was modernized a bit! Click the images to see a closer view. Leanna, 7th grade Lauren, 8th grade Cami, 7th grade Lauren wasn't the only student to take an extra challenge by picking a non-human character; we also had... Tom chasing Jerry by Brogan (7th) and Kylie (7th)! I can't quite remember the name of this character by Luke, but I think it is AWESOME! Nicki, 7th grade Shreya, 7th grade Tori, 7th grade Mickey and Minnie Mouse by Cody (8th) and Emily (7th) Woody from Toy Story by Caleb (7th)! A Mortal Kombat character by Alex, 7th grade Here are some superheroes, by Adrian (8th), Isaac (7th) and Mitchell (7th)! Luigi, by Kendrick (8th) is pretty awesome! And he wasn't our only character from Mario... We had Mario himself, Princess Peach, and little Toad family! Aiden, 7th grade Rachel, 7th grade Cameron, 7th grade A Hetalia character by Ava (7th) See if you can guess any of these ones! And last, but certainly not least, a beautiful drawing by Meg (7th)!
