3-Dimensional Chart: 4th
Quarter Project for Ovid’s Metamorphoses
This project will be counted as your 4th
quarter class project (20% of overall class grade) and will also be entered
in the “Celebration of the Classics” art competition for recognition and
awards.
Objective: Create a chart (poster) which clearly demonstrates your
knowledge of details from your story.
Rules:
1. At least 10 of the 15
details from your written list must be included on your chart.
2. You must label each of the details that
you include on your chart.
3. Poster board must be 22” x 28” (standard
poster board size).
3. Poster board must be heavy enough to
support attached materials – absolutely no ‘foam’ poster
board is permitted; it is difficult to
hang AND IT WARPS QUICKLY AND EASILY.
4. At least 5 different items (materials)
must be used on the chart.
5. All materials must be securely attached;
points will be deducted for missing or broken pieces.
6. All items/figures used on chart must be
hand-made (no store-bought dolls/action figures/legos, etc.)
7. Your own artwork is encouraged; pictures
printed from the internet are discouraged.
8. Colored markers/pencils must be used - no
regular pencils permitted (unless you color over them).
9. Be creative and colorful and fill plain
areas on your chart with some type of artwork.
Suggestions for materials:
The lighter, the better; hot glue works for
attaching things well but it will melt styrophoam
For characters: decorated clothespins,
thread spools, or clay
Additional materials: small wooden shapes,
styrofoam, sticks, straw, pebbles, cotton balls, buttons, paper clips, dried
pasta/beans, bits of fabric, string, lace, toothpicks, marbles, etc.
