I found making finger puppets to be incredibly easy. We all finished pretty quickly. I think that this portion of the assignment would have the same impact on our age group. I don't know if it would be much of a challenge for 10-12 year olds to draw faces and glue hair onto the tips of gloves. I think that making their family members would be exciting for some, but not all of the students.
I wasn't totally clear on Keeley's objectives, and I found it a little limiting. We were asked to make representations of our family, but the amount of detail we had was restricted by the materials and the size. Keeley asked us to not make surreal or symbolic representations. (ie. no purple skin or dinosaur pets) Which also meant that describing the personality of each character was limited. Accessories were popular with the girls. They made little purses and soccer balls to describe themselves and their siblings.
Kristin again asked questions that prompted Keeley to further explain her objectives and the principles behind the assignmet. Kristin is good at provoking the teachers in her group.
Once our puppets were made, we had to take photos of them. This portion also seemed odd to me. Keeley had asked us to try to capture a sense of shape, make sure our composition was 3 dimensional, but we were only allowed to use white binders for a background. She also asked us to be aware of the shadows and lighting present. But then we didn't get any reference material or detailed exploration of the effects of shadows to an image.
