Jackson Pollack the artist

Hello Children,

  Everyday we come in contact with art whether we know it or not. We create it, interpret it, share it, etc.  Art in some way touches us everyday.


 Lately at school we have been exploring the art world.  Miss Carmen shared a wonderful presentation with us & now it is our turn to investigate & explore!!

The artist we will look at together is Jackson Pollack. An american artist, a leader in the abstract expressionist movement.

Cartoon Project- Nutrients & Well Being

Ladies & Gentlemen,

In todays computer class you will be doing a super fun activity!!  Yippee!!

Today you will be using a software that allows you to bring your comic strips to life meaning, you will convert your comic to a moving cartoon.  I believe you have used this program in Form 4.
Miss Marisel will be guiding you through this process so please listen carefully!!!

You should have your sketch book in hand.  In this book you should have a 9 block comic strip done in a previous class (so that your ideas are ready.)  You will have to go directly to work with the program.  There will be no time permitted to construct a comic strip in computing class!

Your comic strip must teaching the importance of at least 2 nutrients. Your teacher will assign this to you as we will need 10 students representing 2 each.

Your comic may look somthing like these but when we are finished they will be a moving cartoon!! Go ahead & have fun sharing about healthy nutrients!!
Thanks!
Miss Noelle
