Our “Ugly Dolls” photo-shoot

My new group of 7th graders have been busy creating “Ugly Doll” inspired monsters.  I recently found these 2011 calendars on Amazon and was inspired. 

 

Yesterday a few of my students took their dolls around the school and took photos.  Below are a few of the results…

Ahhhh….Dinosaurs!

Feeling festive!

Half the gang hanging around…. more to come!

Fun...with Ugly Dolls

I was looking for a project that would keep my 7th graders engaged, and creating their own "Ugly Dolls" was just the ticket. Ugly Dolls were created by David Horvath and his wife Sun-Min Kim. Check out the cute story of how they originated at: www.uglydolls.com/#/about/

Here are a few close-ups of my students' work. They also created an environmet for their dolls and filled out a worksheet that described their dolls name and charateristics. This project was a big hit!
