Help needed: Artist for Classroom project/ reward

Starting this year I am doing a "Mission of the Week" in my math classroom. On the side board I have pictures and profiles of the hero team "Team Physics" and their rivals "The Dark Riders". Each week they get a bonus question to solve and can earn extra credit. Each question has a superhero theme to it, in some way.

So one kid today asked if they could be heroes, like REAL super heroes and get their pictures on the board. Now I can't draw and I'm not quite comfortable making a "version" of my students in CoH. But if I had a "winner" for say the 10 week marking period it might be neat to have someone (with parent consent) take their school pic as a reference and draw "them" as a super hero.

So.... anyone willing to volunteer to help out a teacher?

If my time weren't so unpredictable and my muse so obscenely fickle (not to mention my skill being sub-par... yeah that's important too) >.< I'd offer you my help.

But mostly I just wanted to say I think that's a great idea >.< I hope it works real well for ya; math's a freaking tough subject... I'm 23 and my mathematics skills are still very basic <x.x>; So its nice to hear some sort of innovation. Hope you can find someone!

I'd be willing to do a chibi (possibly a regular piece if time permits). This is a cute idea!!!

*bump*

This is a great idea! I'm full up at the mo' but man, If I had you for a Math Teacher I'd probably love math more.

That's awesome, I'd totally help out if I had the skills.

I'm up for it. Hell, I'll even ink and color it. Would this be one person or a group?

Count me in, I'll even do your 2nd and 3rd place runner ups... always willing to help a fellow teacher, being a former one myself... the underpaid and overworked thing is NOT a myth.

...where was this fella when I was in school o-so-many moons ago? definately would have kept me a bit more interested than I was...~

Ooooh wait, I just read this again. If there's going to be just one winner then I can DEFINITELY do a full drawing, or a one-page chibi comic!

i wish my Geometry teacher played CoH ....imagine...PLing for extra credit!

This is an awesome idea! Heck, if you provide the kids with a character template similar to what you'd find on a COH character (like head details, colors, body armor/costume design, power sets) I'd love to try one or two. I don't draw enough any more, and I really should.

Heck, you should offer (with parental permissions) to have a trial code sent to the year's best students...

Well let me get to the week 5 mark (progress reports) and if I have a clear "hero of the month" or for that matter any students who actually DO the extra credit then I'll see what we have to work with. It's just neat to see some artists willing to volunteer some time to this project.

What is likely to happen is that I could email someone their school pic (with parent consent) and a quick "My super powers are to ______" from the kid and then get back something we can add to the bulliten board and put them among The Event Horizon, Cmdr. Inertia, Cirrus and Stratus and The Mortal Wombat as part of TEAM SCIENCE!!!!



Thanks guys. If you want to touch base/ commit you can drop me an email at MrOsterman(at)walledlake.k12.mi.us

Mr. O

I would totally love to volunteer, I just can't count on myself to commit to something like this. :-/ Maybe later when I'm a better and faster artiste!

But best of luck, can't wait to see the creations that churn out!
