This is a really popular project among the students. It's one of those that every class sees it and wants to do it. It's really a quite simple lesson. We draw our portraits together discussing proportion and placement and fill them in with construction paper crayons. Now the fun part is coming up with a "bandit name." For this I give them the choice to use their first name or last name, but they must use an alliteration when coming up with a word. For the most part I want students to think of adjectives, "describing words," but there are always some exceptions.
Here are last years Wanted students.
These are great to add literacy into the art lesson, the language arts teachers have got to love this! What a fantastic project!
