Pezzettino is an Italian word that means "little piece". This is a great story of how we all fit together to make the bigger picture.
"Pezzettino lives in a world in which everyone is big and does daring and
wonderful things. But he is small, just a “little piece,” which is the
meaning of pezzettino in Italian. “I must be a piece of somebody. I must
belong to someone else,” he thinks. How Pezzettino learns that he
belongs to no one but himself is the joyous and satisfying conclusion to
this beautiful mosaic style picture book." - Amazon
My students had to take photos of themselves and photos of their hand. Next they selected a background that would fit their photo and collage it together on the computer. They created a background, layered their photo and layered other details to make it really POP! I just love them and we have had tons of compliments on their pieces. Here are a few that they created.
My Digital Art class made these awesome pieces using paint.net! We created a grid first as
our background. On their next layer they colored each block a
different color, careful not to let two of the same colors touch. The final layer required them to create their initial on top of the color blocks. They look really cool and if they were mine I would frame them and hang in my room.
