review 1: How would you describe your best friend, your teachers, yourself, how about characters from a book? This is a great introduction into metaphors and thinking outside the box to describe someone. It would be a great idea to use this concept at the beginning of the school year to get to know other staff members or allow the students to describe themselves to each other. Check back for some examples of Character Portraits from our Bledsoe Book Clubs.
review 2: Metaphors illustrated with object art portraits! This would be a fun library program. See also: My dog is as smelly as dirty socks.From the author: "I noticed that making collages with objects helps kids (and grown-ups) realize that they can create art even if they are insecure about their artistic abilit... moreies. More important, making pictures out of objects helps to tell stories that might be too long, difficult, or boring told just in words." less
