Spotlight on Div. 3!

Welcome to our third installment of the Clinton Spotlight!!

Ms Stack and Division 3 highlighted Visualization of the novels they were reading. They created dioramas using materials found at home to make the climax come alive. They were amazing representations of how they saw the events in their novel.

This connects with our Story Studio…they were inspired by the novels they were reading to recreate the most exciting/scary/awesome part as a diorama. Like SS, they used objects and materials from home…unlike SS, they wouldn’t take this apart and clean up after. 😉

Please enjoy a selection of their creations…

Here is a stop-motion video interpretation of the diorama…a bit of a mash-up with Story Studio!

Zaphyn really took things to the next level and here are a couple of different views as well as some explanation of her process…

I made everything myself using items around my house- but it helps that all 3 of my parental figures work with prop-building supplies, so i had many items to choose from. There are a couple different types of foam, a lot of paint, crafting gravel, a push light, cotton batting, moss, fabric, real dirt and some paper elements. I drew the soldier on my iPad and printed out 2 copies and used foam tape to make it have extra dimension, used a silver paint pen on his sword, and added drops of “blood” with puff paint.

Thank you to all of Div 3 and Ms Stack for sharing their interpretations of the climax in their stories! Keep sharing and creating and inspiring our Clinton community. 🙂
