7/8 What Animal Personality Are You? - 2016/17

7/8 students were presented with a list of character traits in order to find out what animal their personality was most like. We had some fun identifying our traits and then matching these up with a variety of animal traits. Character traits such as; stable, well grounded, aggressive, enthusiastic, conservative, out-going etc. etc. all pertain to either carnivores, herbivores, rodents and insectivores, birds or reptiles according to one research. For example, according to a quiz that I took online in order to prepare for this lesson, I am a shrew, from the rodent and insectivore category. The next time I took the test I was a herbivore, a sheep. Not the animals I would have imagined I would be, not my favorite animals, but looking at the traits, I guess I resemble some of the character traits of each. Nonetheless, I drew myself as a polar bear. Mathematically based self-portrait drawing methods were applied in order to draw our face. Morphing the image of the animal into our own, overlapping the animal image with our own or combining animal parts with our own, were some ideas students came up with. Take a look at the examples. The photographs will be on Artsonia.com for you to peruse and perhaps order your child's art on a variety of products offered through Artsonia. A portion of the proceeds come back to Eagle School in the form of funds for the Eagle art curriculum.
