Villains: Creating Your Own Character

Description skills are highly involved in creating a villain.  Superheroes are some of the most descriptive characters created, yet villains need to be able to overcome them or even be the main character in a plot.  While creating their own character, students will learn more description skills and use it to work with their own creativity.  What goes into making a character?  What can be done with the character once it is created?  These are topics that will be discussed while the students are using their skills to both write a short description of the character and draw their new character.  The project development at home will be to continue the work until the student has completed what he or she would like his or her perfect villain to be.  

We will use slides, discussion, composition, and drawing skills in this class.  The student will need at least one piece of paper, a pencil, and colored pencils, markers, or crayons for the activity.
