Sub Plan - Art Hero

Use blank scrap paper from the green tray and colored pencils. These are located in the drawing center by the whiteboard. Small pictures of art heroes are attached to this sheet. (I just dragged images of celebrities and everyday people from google searches to a Pages document.)

Read aloud:

Over the weekend in Newburyport, a Picasso painting worth over $1 million dollars was saved from a burning building. A hero ran in, saved the painting from the flames, handed it over to the owner on the street, and then ran away! Who was this anonymous art hero? There were some witnesses. 

Sub-- pass out pictures of people to the witness face down. Ask witnesses to raise their hands so you know. 

Partner up. One of you will be the witness, the other will be police sketch artist. 

As a police officer, you will ask yes or no questions to the witness about the hero, and draw the hero as they give you clues. 

Did the hero have brown hair?

Was the hero a boy?

Did they have a sharp pointy nose?

Did the hero have thick eye brows.

Is this hero famous?

As a witness, look at your hero picture, but do not show your partner. Say yes or no. You may point to a feature on your face if you want the police artist to ask about it. For example, say the art hero had really bushy eyebrows. The you could point to your eye brows as a clue. 

When the police sketch artist has a full picture of the art hero, then they may reveal it. 

Then, switch roles. The witness should ask the sub for a new picture card.
