Art Folder Assignment #4
We have learned about different ways we can show good character in our everyday lives. For example, turning in a lost wallet, doing our homework and chores, sharing, being responsible for our own actions, and many more. In celebration of such an event, your art assignment involves putting Character Counts into action in a comic strip.
Your assignment is to create a comic strip that follows the theme of Character Counts. Your comic strip may use as many panels (frames) to illustrate your idea of good character. You may focus on one or all six pillars of character in your comic strip. You comic strip should show how someone uses good character. Please use color and label which pillar(s) you're showing. Remember, I only ask that you do YOUR best!
