8th Grade Super-Sized Superheroes

Okay, so the title is misleading--only a few students actually chose superheroes. The rest took cartoon characters. Everyone followed the same steps to create poster-sized paintings. Once they settled on a character, they printed a hardcopy, traced over it with overhead transparency, and projected it onto poster board. The enlarged drawings were traced, inked and painted with tempera. I'm really impressed. In fact, I think they're super!
