Art Folder #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. With this in mind, your art assignment involves putting Character Counts into action in a comic strip. Your assignment is to crate 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. Your comic strip should shoe 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!
