Superhero: Vinessa
She was born and her parents couldn't take care of her and she was given to the orphanage as a baby and these scientists came and adopted her and injected her with plant and animal DNA to see what would happen. Still being human she ran away when she was older and her powers developed and she can shape shift into any living thing like plant or animal. And she lives in this animal kingdom with animals that can talk and she saves animals from being hurt or hunted.
-Piper Bloom, 5th Grade
Student artists learn to recognize shapes and types of lines as they design and draw their own superheroes. They begin by creating a book that tells the backstory of their superhero using their choice of drawing, writing, or a combination. They then move on to drawing and watercoloring their superhero, complete with backstory
Pencils, pens, copy paper, markers, watercolor paper, scissors, eraser, sharpie, pan watercolors, brushes, water, paper towels, construction paper, scissors, glue, magazines
Optional (for early finishers): 5-Minute Marvel Stories, old comics (check with a local comic book shop and ask for the comics that they typically throw away—many will sell in bulk or give away for free).
