Me, Myself, and My Initials

This was a project another classmate and I taught to the class. We had them bring pictures of themselves to the class for this project, but if they didn't have any pictures we had magazines for them to cut out pictures to us. We started out having the students draw out the design of their initials that would be cut out. Once they were drawn and cut out, the students were to put their design piece over another piece of paper of the same size and trace the design. Once they were done tracing, they were to then begin planning out their design of their pictures. They had to chance to design their pictures in any way, but were advised to cut their pictures in the same geometrical shape. I designed my piece by using magazine pictures and having the picture describe a part of my life. The pictures, from the bottom up, describe my likes as a child to now as a college student. The large picture in the middle of Tiger Woods is to describe my likeness for him as my favorite golfer, from when I was a child to now. An extension to this project would to have the students tell the class about their project and the pictures in the piece.
