"My Defender" Comic Book Cover Design

Materials: Rulers, Pencils, Drawing Paper, and Colored Pencils

Activity: Students brainstormed then designed their very own super-defender. The project is based on the school wide acceptance that a defender is one who "helps others when being bullied."

 Sequence: This project was a culminating assignment that ended the 7th and 8th grade unit on perspective. We began using one-point perspective to first create three dimensional letters then, using the same technique, observed perspective in our school by drawing the hallway. Finally, we studied figure drawing while considering a personal point of view and the point of view of others. We combined all of these concepts into the final comic book cover. Enjoy!
