"50 Summer Stories"
Picture
Picture
Picture
Students interview students about water related summer moments.
Illustrate for a collaborative book.
(Mini project to model the process of the big project, “Following Water”)
Goals:
  • Generating good questions (as a class we will create them)
  • Identifying points of interest
  • Collaborating with your subject (interviewee)
  • Digging deeper into a topic
  • Developing visual art from oral history
  • Creating “original art” from found images
  • Checking your work for approval
  • Putting together a complete oral/visual piece
Picture
Take notes of the key adventures or scenarios, then discuss with your partner the most interesting summer moment. Agree on one moment to move forward with.  Write up 3 possible ways to turn the oral story into a visual story. Share the visual ideas with your interview partner and go over them together, to clear up any faults and discuss the images that best illustrate the story. Take the time to improve and refine what was communicated in the interview.

This back and forth checking in will get students thinking more descriptively about how to best illustrate a water related moment they had over the summer. Together they can decide upon a motif and a color palette, etc.
The interviewer will then go on to find a suitable image create a collage to depict their summer story. The partners can also make editing suggestions in the visual art stage to tweak the image enough to “own” it.
​

This is a fine art illustration of the summer story. Create a book titled “50 Summer Stories”.
