The Identity Dolls and Mini-Artist Statements

Arts Ed. 7/8: Arts Smarts Identity Project
Your assignment: 
Take a look at the paper doll cutout examples handout.  You may choose to alter the pattern example ANY way so that it represents YO or….create your own paper doll of you (see other examples)!
Due:  Next Class.  You have the weekend to work on this, but…it will be handed in/graded next class. 
Possible Marks:  3/3
3/3 Others can tell who this doll was made by because it captures their identity. You can tell the student put a lot of time/thought into this product.  Original use of materials.  Innovative.
2/3   I figured out who the doll was made by because they put their name on it.  Doll kinda captures their identity, but it could be stated stronger, visually. The student might have put some time into this project outside of class, but it was more likely done during class time.  Kinda original.  Maybe they materials other than those supplied in class.
1/3   Student started, but their doll was not anywhere near being finished.  It looks like they rushed the project to just get the experience over with.  Others can’t tell who this doll represents.
0/3   The student was absent/Did not attempt or use class time well.
The Rules: 
There are no rules!  Just be creative and keep the above marking rubric in mind. CUT OUT your doll and put your name on back.
Sample Ideas/solutions to this problem (Also known as how to get 3/3):
Use paint, markers, crayons, colored pencil, dried pasta, yarn, wire, beads, newspaper, magazine, photographs, rocks, make it into a cookie, cut paper, confetti, sequins, glitter, words/phrases, felt, fabric, lace, ribbon, or anything else you may have lying around your house.  You may want to transform your paper doll to have moving parts or accessories.
On Monday, I will set up a little paper doll gallery so that you can share your creation. Creativity is key.  Go wild!  I look forward to seeing you all Monday with your “Mini-Me’s”! Prizes will be awarded for various categories in our gallery.
