2 week Project: Tactile Character Portraits/Sculptures

At-Home Activity

Tactile Character Portraits

(Due: October 12th)

  Where the Wild Things Are    Pete the Cat Moana

Project Details:

*Students choose a Favorite Character from a story to make a tactile portrait of.

*Parents may print out a picture of the character to use as a guide.

*Glue the picture to cardboard or other sturdy object to build the portrait on.

*Students use everyday objects found around the house to complete the portrait.

Writing Component:

*The name of the character needs to be written on the portrait.

*The name of the book also needs to be written on the portrait.

*Students need to write 3 words that describe the character on the portrait.

*Student’s name needs to be on the back of the portrait.

Rules:

*Parents CANNOT do the project for the students.  You may help print out the picture, write down the words that the student will copy, and gather materials your child might want to use...but it is the STUDENT’S responsibility to create the tactile portrait.

*Students CAN make a model instead of a portrait if they wish (like Where the Wild Things Are).

*Students MUST use at least 3 colors AND 3 different tactile elements in their portrait.

*Portrait MUSt be of a storybook character (not tv character, family member, or themselves).

Be Creative!  Have Fun!  Make something
