8th grade art Mythical Creature requirements

8th grade art
        MYTHICAL CREATURE

Final Requirements: Mythical Creature Sculpture
¨  *Skeletal/ armature must be constructed from cardboard, measuring no smaller than 1 foot in diameter, but may be larger and fit through all doors. This armature is much like the skeletal of your own body it is the basic mold for the inside of the creature. The Animal must be a full animal not just a head but with the full body as well. This will be a 3/d creature no flat objects. It must stand or be stable in position you have chosen. If there should be legs make them as part of the armature.
¨   
¨  *Construction: must hold together, you will be coming from home to school.  Using glue, tape, wire, thread, yard, etc. Some things work out better than others, experiment to find out which one for your creature. (hot glue gun is not always the best)
¨   
¨  *Cover: you must cover the outer with what will complete you creature i.e. fur, wrapping paper, paint, feathers, bling, fabric, yarn, please no lined, or construction paper this will just fall apart and not help with a final look, just remember the original cardboard must not be showing, etc.
¨   
¨  *No drawing on creature with marker, pencil etc. you must make or paint your eyes, mouth or any physical features and body parts, etc. to complete your creation. Go the extra mile.
¨   
¨   *Tag: This is your information; you must include a tag with your creatures name and your name along with the date and hour.  Use yarn or string to tie the tag onto the creature it looks better than just a scrap piece of paper scribbled on with information with tape holding it in place.
¨   
¨  *Creativity: this means background knowledge and using your imagination along with items that are common and turning them into uncommon ways, this will play a huge part in the project.  Take time to come up with an original mythical creature.
¨   
*Elements: color (any that will enhance the beauty of the creature), texture (feathers, bling, cloth, etc.), form (every angle must be considered 3/d) these are the most predominant found on your project.

*Principles: balance (symmetrical, must be able to stand on its own), unity (everything that comes together and works with it), proportions (the head, legs, body work with each other not against having the creature fall) are the most predominant.

¨  *Take the time to create, don’t wait till the night before. You have time to create but only if you don’t wait.
¨   
¨ *Parents I would like you to rate you student between 1-25 on effort, time spent, creativity, construction, and overall completion on this project.  I would like you to consider all aspects of this project.
