daily do & draw
DO
In Studio Red we play with sticks all the time. We use them when we traipse through the woods and we incorporate them into our indoor explore in a variety of ways.
Now we invite you pick one or a number of sticks from your collection to play with imaginatively. You can combine your sticks with other materials or you can envision what a single stick can become in your imagined world.
What do you imagine your stick becoming as you play?
Is it a fishing pole?
Or an antennae?
DRAW
Do you remember the book Not a Stick? The author, Antoinette Portis encourages us to think about a stick becoming something unexpected. We invite you to create a new page for the book.
“It’s not a stick.” “It’s a …”
You can draw how you played with the stick in the DO or you can envision a whole new transformation!
Try taping your stick directly to the paper and transforming it from there.
“It’s not a stick.”
“It’s a snail!”
What details will you add to your drawing to help the audience make sense of your imagined stick transformation?
