Instructional Ideas
  • Create your own presentation so your class can view these pieces in the detail they are meant to be seen in
Classroom Considerations
  • Note that the artist's style is hyperrealistic—the sculptures are true to life and may appear strange to some individuals
  • It is unlikely that pupils will be able to achieve the level of realism present in the model sculptures; emphasize the task of representing a feeling over realism
Pros
  • Comes with images, vocabulary, a rubric, step-by-step project instructions, discussion ideas, and more
Cons
  • None
