Build your Wild Self Stories : 6th graders collaboratively create Avatars w/ Pages

6^th Grade Media Arts students utilized the web site “Build Your Wild Self” to design themselves as a regular avatar and one that features animal characteristics. The students took screen captures of their avatars off of the web site and then imported them into the publishing app – Pages

Within Pages, the students got to digitally edit their photos, such as inserting borders on them and cropping out parts of the photo that they didn’t want. Once the photos were laid out, the students collaborated with a partner to write a story about how they turned into a monster.

One student would write the intro to the story, then exchange iPads to write the final paragraph on how they became a monster.  Check out some of these great and colorful published works that will soon become an iBook.

hey @cutblog @ArtIsEd @NAEA chk it: BWMS Medieval Fashion Show- students make newspaper/duct tape costumes #k12 #artsed #lessonplan a performance #myr #horry

My students worked together to design costumes based off of Medieval fashions while maintaining  a balance team work and problem solving.

The film shows the BWMS Medieval Fashion Show at Black Water Middle School as a showcase of work from my seventh grade art students.There are also photomontages of the groups workng together to form their costumes.

This video is a master collection from all of the footage of IPad, Flips and the digital cameras to help give some insight of all the work involved in this project. This is the best of the best.

 

I have been documentating my students' progress for several weeks, so I have a FEW of those pics arranged into a Picasa slideshow below:

 

I also have a combined these pics into a Picasa movie

 

 

 

 

• I also have created an embeddable lesson plan that you can use with your students. It basically utilizes teamwork and problem solving to create wearable works of art.
