6th grade Warm Up and Day One - Mythological Creature Sculptures

WARM UP 

Describe in the greatest detail you can a mythological creature you have studied recently. 

Today we are beginning a new chapter in the realm of fantasy! We've painted a fantasy landscape just recently but now we are working on a creature we can call our own. First though, let's take a look at some different creatures from around the globe... 

 The Unicorn. 

The Dragon

 The Loch Ness Monster

The Cyclops

Today's Assignment! 

Create a full colored sketch on white paper of a mythological creature we have looked at or your own creation! This sketch will then be the basis for your mythological creature sculpture we will begin to create this week!

Don't forget this week's GLEs and SPIs!
