One of the classes I'm currently teaching is an Arts Literacy integration class. After doing some experimenting during the first quarter, I've decided to focus the class more closely on comics, graphic novels, and illustration. This project was for a unit on characterization. Students were given xerox's of a wide assortment of Marvel superheros and were allowed to collage them together and color them to create their own characters. Afterwards we completed a short writing assignment that included inventing appropriate backstories, motivations, and goals for our characters.
