Grade 5
Visual Standards: VA:Cr2.3.5a (Identity and personal connection through art)
Students will look at traditional self-portraits from photography. One or two volunteers may share their personal “selfies.” Students will discuss what makes these pictures “self portraits,” and how they can add personalization. What do they choose to include?
Demonstration with scanner- teacher asks a helper to scan a document- projector is showing live results. Teacher “messes up” the scan by moving it too early. Students discuss results. Essential question posed: How can we use this scanner to make a self portrait?
A new volunteer comes up and makes a scan of his/her face. Class discusses results. Essential question posed: How can I transform my portrait, using this scanner?
Demonstration of movement with the scanner.
Students will then create a “glitchy self-portrait.” They will be assessed on whether they included personal references, additional materials, movement, different approaches to form and color, etc.
Students who are finished early may explore a series of portraits that tell a story about themselves. They may also edit their final image in Photoshop (if program has been previously scaffolded in lessons).
Students will discuss their work in group critique and share what they discovered about the scanner.
I enjoyed the idea you inserted to the exploration: creating a "self-portrait" using photography and then a scanner. This makes the material exploration a little less prominent but probably prompts student's imagination a little more.
