3rd Grade Comic Book Covers

During my student teaching, I had my 3rd graders create their own comic book covers.  There were a few requirements for their drawings:

1. They had to create their own superhero with special powers.
2. They had to have a name for their superhero.
3. Their comic book covers had to include a title and an image of their superhero in action.

We discussed and practiced (mostly) correct body proportions before drawing our final copy.  I loved this project because I got to see their imaginations at work!

 

5th Grade Radial Name Designs

6th Grade Positive/Negative Shape Designs

5th Grade Line Designs

Fifth grade studied line, line patterns, and line's impact on shape.  They first started out with a looped line across the page and then filled in the spaces created by the loops with a variety of line patterns.  They had the choice to color their work in black and white, or a 3-color limited palette.
