Overview       

Students discussed why people exaggerate when they are telling stories.  They looked at images with exaggerated proportions, like Charlie Brown, and exaggerated emotion, like Japanese theater masks.  They then used paper lawn bags to create giant, wearable heads.  They added exaggerated features by manipulating the paper and adding on paper mâché facial features.  As a finishing element, they colored their features with oil pastel.
