Shapes are the best allies for creations. Animators and directors create shapes inside the frame to add visual storytelling to their characters and films. In order to transmit different feelings to the viewer, as though people may not notice these shapes directly, but they have an important impact on their feelings. You may see good guys are always round, the most recognizable character in animation with three-circle shape - Mickey Mouse.
This content activity engages students to create their own Shape Finches to discover their feelings about shapes and associate them with personality traits. Ideal to integrate social-emotional learning in the classroom where mathematics meets art to inspire and bring the lessons to life and help students learn about expressions and emotions.
