Creative Project
The mission of The Renaissance Fellowship is to inculcate a love of great literature in children, starting with the children who are part of the fellowship. Each Fellow will in turn be required to carry on this mission. They will do this through a creative visual arts project focused on their favorite reading which brings it to life for other children.
Each Renaissance Fellow will be asked to do a creative project in the last three weeks of the program related a reading of their choice and writings they do as part of the program. Several project ideas and creative tools will be shared with the Fellows over the first two weeks.
We want to see you take any element from the readings, and do a visual project:
Make a set of illustrations
- You can draw scenes or characters from the story,
- You can draw it using coloring/drawing materials at home, then take a digital picture and send it in, OR
- Use a tool such as those found on http://www.kerpoof.com/, or http://www.imaginationcubed.com/ to make your digital illustration and send it to us.
- Draw out a scene from the story in a comic strip form,
- Use your own drawing/coloring materials at home OR
- Use an online tool such as http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix/, http://sketchcast.com/, or http://www.mainada.net/comicssketch/ to help sketch a scene.
- XtraNormal (http://www.xtranormal.com/) OR
- Talking Tom (iPod/iPhone/iPad application)
- Film a scene from the readings and upload it online: Please be sure to get your parents’ to approve the video first
