Exploring Story Through Art: CRPL Summer Camp 2020 - Day 2

(music)

Hey guys. It's Day 2, and today
we are going to be starting

with a project where we're going
to be comparing and contrasting.

So what's comparing and contrasting?
Comparing is when we try

to find similarities.

Things that are the same
between two different things.

For example, in our Rapunzel stories,
Rapunzel is put

in a tower in both tellings.

Contrasting is where we find
the differences

between two different things.

In Rapunzel's revenge,
Rapunzel's hair is red,

but in Grimm's Fairy Tale's Rapunzel,
her hair is golden like the sun,

so those are two differences.

Now that we understand what comparing
and contrasting is, we can do

our first activity and fill out
our compare and contrast worksheet.

Our second activity is creating a collage.

A collage is a piece of work where
you stick pieces of paper, materials,

or photographs to some backing
and it creates a single image

or piece of artwork.

Some artists, famous for collage, are
Henry Matisse, Pablo Picasso,

and my personal favorite,
Eric Carle, who is famous

for The Very Hungry Caterpillar book.

To begin our second activity, pick a panel
from Rapunzel's Revenge.

We're going to try to recreate it
in the style of collage.

Your work can be as realistic or abstract
as you like.

I picked this panel for my collage.

You will need a piece of cardstock,
collage papers, scissors, glue, pencil.

Try to simplify the panel drawings
into basic shapes

like circles, squares, and triangles,
which can make it easier to cut out.

Before gluing, lay out the pieces
on the cardstock

to see how the picture
is fitting together.

Start by gluing
your back drop together,

then your larger pieces.

Using your ink pen, sign your work
when you're finished.

Don't forget to take a picture,
so we can see the work that you did.
