Week 2/22

a.) Above is a picture of my Sculptural Headdress. As I was preparing to make this headdress I decided to go for something little and delicate. I chose colors that went along with my personality as well as the typical fairytale story. The purple color is seen as very royal which is the color I used the most of but with different shades. Then I also made roses on the sides in pink and connecting it with the vine in the front to make it look different. It was a fun process where I got to show a little bit of my personality by connecting it to a fairytale princess.

b.) In a second grade classroom I think it would be a lot of fun to do a headdress like this. I think it would be interesting to look at a story like Pocahontas or even the 2 stories we looked at in class that way the boys would be able to relate a little more with by making a tribal headdress. I could read to the students the different stories we are analyzing and then have them create their own head pieces to relate to the story it and combine it to how they want it to look like.

c.) The California Content Standards for second grade literature states to recount fables and folktales from diverse cultures and to determine their message, moral or lesson. This would be a great project to do so that children have to opportunity to meet the California Standards in reading different folktales like the ones we read in class or pick different ones and then have the students reflect by making a headpieces. The students could create a headdress that demonstrates what they learned from the story.
