Final Project

Artistic Representation Project

Directions:  The artistic representation project is meant to tap your creative side as well as allow you to explore The Kite Runner in depth.  Working individually, consider all aspects of our exploration of the novel including the three motifs you tracked.  Now, artistically represent all you have learned about the novel. 

Use whatever medium you think is appropriate—a painting, original lyrics set to music, a three-dimensional object, a sculpture—to illustrate your breadth and depth of knowledge you’ve learned about The Kite Runner and Afghanistan.  The best projects are ones that show originality and synthesize all aspects of the unit we studied.  Don’t settle for rehashing an old assignment.  When presenting, sell your piece.  Demonstrate how much knowledge you represented in your object.  As a challenge to you, I don’t want any projects that require a computer, that is, no PowerPoints or Prezis this time. 

Your project will be graded on depth, breadth, originality, care, presentation, aesthetics, and the write up.  Include a brief typed write-up (2 paragraphs maximum) describing your artistic representation—I find this helpful in the evaluation process.

Include quotes, images, and symbolic colors to represent the different motifs and/or other aspects.  The best projects will have a unifying theme that brings the motifs together to represent the whole of The Kite Runner.
