Project/Unit description/Expedition: Tosalba is back once more and wonders why people talk about things that they haven’t experienced personally. What is she talking about? Pop culture?

These are in progress work from a student. The student decided to practice her handwriting in the front of her ideation sheet. The second picture the student clearly drew four figures to depict her characters she intended for her show. A person standing and three babies crawling.

When allowing the student to create what ever they can think of, they surprise you. This student made her character's dresses in the shape of a triangle-- basic shape building. The student also drew "cupcakes" that her character's are holding. Simple shapes put together can make interesting characters. This student was refining her drawing skills and thinking independently through her unique shape that made up her characters.
