Learn more about the Georgia Habitats through a lively script and create puppets inspired by the characters in the script. Enhance your reading skills and knowledge of Georgia plant and animal adaptations as well as your knowledge of the art of puppetry. Showcase each plant or animal’s adaptations in your design. Bring your puppets to life with expressive and entertaining reading!
Many artistic endeavors require a thorough knowledge and understanding of mathematics, which frequently forms the foundation for creative expression. Visual artists must evaluate dimensions, balance, design and center of gravity and balance; musicians analyze chord inversions and calculate fractions of rhythm and meter; choreographers organize beats into recurring groups and add movement; architects design with the mathematics of engineering. The learners involved in this activity will be engaged in the interpretation of poetry by adding music, movement, visual art and drama. After performing their creation, learners will discuss mathematical and/or scientific connections where applicable which have a natural fit in this learning experience.
Learn more about yourself and others through this activity by linking language arts and visual arts. By creating a visual representation/image of yourself, writing about your self-portrait, and discussing both your creation and those of others, you simultaneously enhance visual and aural communication skills, develop and practice the writing process, enhance reading skills, and develop further understanding of the expressive elements and structure of visual artwork.

Invite a few art historians into your classroom! Derive inspiration from classical portrait paintings, Diego Velazquez’s La Infanta Margarita or Raphael’s Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione, as you explore the idea of self-portraiture with your students. A closer look at these works will reveal mathematical relationships and proper proportions that will inform your students as they render themselves.
