Student: Fifth graders
Title: Self-Portrait
Material: found object, toys, iStop Motion app,
etc.
Objective: Through creating a stop motion animation
that represent one or multiple aspects of themselves, students will learn that
they make a narrative art piece in a digital form.
Spark: Before I came to school this morning, I
picked out this pink sweater to wear because 1. Pink is my favorite color, 2. I
like the texture and the color change on this sweater. I think both of them
represent my interests in color and texture.
1.) What about you guys? Why did you wear what
you wear?
2.) Do you think your clothes and accessories can
represent who you are and how?
3.) Besides clothes, what are some other things that can represent you?
Demonstration/Material
Dialogue:
Teacher:
“Based on what you guys just discussed about how you can use objects to
represent you, let’s think about how we can use iStop Motion to make digital
animations.
1) How would you want to show the environment/atmosphere
in your video?
2) How would you do that with lighting?
3) How would you show quick transition? How
would you show smooth transition?
I wonder in which way question 2 and 3 address the theme: "Self-Portrait"? In which way are they connected? Could you come up with more questions (like your first one) that elicit answers that are more directly related to identity, living in a particular time and space? How does an animation bring forth what we like, who we are, what we want, or don't want, etc?
