The human form is a fascinating subject for sculpting and one I have only recently focused on; I love the sense of movement and the ability to convey emotion. At first, I just concentrated on the head with sculptures like 'Search for Enlightenment' and 'Leaf Spirit'. Then I moved onto the full human form and used ballet as my inspiration.

This is a fine art print of my original oil painting, "Metamorphosis Phase 2". Relating the cocoon, monarch butterfly, and the female figure, I am bringing attention to the similar changes that take place as butterflies transform to when humans transform internally. PLEASE READ: Prints 8.5" x 11" will be sent as photographed with the white space above and below the butterfly image. I package this size in a plastic sleeve, and mail the print in a sturdy, cardboard mailer for safe delivery. ALL prints LARGER than 8.5" x 11" will be trimmed into squares by removing the excess white paper from the top and the bottom of the butterfly image. I leave a standard 1/4" white border around the edges. These large format prints are carefully rolled by me and placed in a protective mailing tube. This piece is the second part to my first cocoon painting, Metamorphosis Phase 1." These two paintings pair together nicely, or are strong on their own. When creating this piece, I wanted to imagine what the transformation process would look like half way through the metamorphosis of a human to a butterfly. A continuation of my self reflection, and acknowledgement of personal growth. If you have plans to purchase more than one phase of the Metamorphosis Three-Part Painting Series, please note that Phase 1, 2, and 3 all have varying shades of green. They are not meant to be prefect matches. I did this as a way to show the passage of time by representing changes in day through various shades of green. Each print is done by me from my home with a professional Canon printer on Canon's Pro Matte Photo Paper. Creating these prints from home allows me to examine each print to ensure high quality resolution and accurate color matching before they go to their new home. Frame NOT included. Once your print ships, I am no longer in control of how long your print will take to get to you nor am I responsible for delays💜 (Note: colors may vary depending on your display settings on your at home device). © 2020 All rights belong to Marissa Strickland This shop page is my original work and is not for copying, reproducing, or selling by others
I love to display the basic types of figurative language for my students, but I feel like so many of the available posters don't fit the rest of my classroom decor. This set of nine posters will add cute decoration to your classroom and serve as a great reminder of figurative language for your students at the same time. The posters are all black and white, so if you do not have access to a color printer in your classroom (like myself), you can print these and still have a vibrant, eye-catching poster!

If your students struggle to understand figurative language in general, then this product can be used to help them understand it better.

Below is a detailed list of everything that is included in this set, and feel free to check out the preview and video for more insight. What's Included In This Bundle: Figurative Language Poster Literal Language Poster 2 Figurative vs Literal Language Color-By-Code Worksheets 1 Figurative vs Literal Language Assessment Print Suggestions: Set the print scale at "fit to printable area" to keep the borders from being cut off.

This digital creative writing activity on Figurative Language is designed to be completed independently! Nine types of figurative language are covered: similes, metaphors, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, imagery, idioms, hyperbole, and understatements. Very detailed directions and examples are given since I know teachers are not always able to physically be in the same room to help. Students are given a theme and must write their own example of different types of figurative language that fit the theme. For example, a simile about the beach might be that I am as happy as a clam. While this activity is meant to stand alone, it is also meant to be DAY FIVE of my Figurative Language unit. I have the rest of the week available here: Day 1 Figurative Language - Video Introduction Lesson and Drag & Drop Activities Sets 1 & 2 (Google Slides™) Day 2 Figurative Language - Scavenger Hunt Sets 1 & 2 (Google Slides™) Day 3 Figurative Language - Digital Task Cards Sets 1 & 2 (Google Slides™ + self-grading Google Forms™ quiz version!)

Onomatopoeia is a great way to get the reader's attention on compositions! This is my favorite poster because it is the first one I made to help teachers and students. Figurative Language is just like hot sauce, because, when used correctly, it can add flavor and spice to any composition. I really enjoyed finding the perfect picture to fit each sound on the poster, and I hope you and your students love this selection of sound choices as you work on writing in your language arts classroom! A hard copy 17" x 22" version of this poster can be found on our website at: www.thewriteprescription.com Feel free to message us for information about Math, Writing, Grammar Trainings/Workshops with your students and/or teachers!

For the past two weeks, my class has been learning about figurative language and how to use it to enhance writing. We worked through 6 elements of figurative language: similes, metaphors, hyperboles, idioms, personification, and onomatopoeia. Here is a listing of picture books I used to teach figurative language and the activity we completed for each piece of language: My lovely student teacher started off with a T-Chart on the board with "like/as" in the center. She had a variety of pictures and words on magnets. Students came up and moved the pieces to create similes such as "busy as a bee" or "cool as a cucumber." She then read the class "Crazy like a Fox." Afterward, she brainstormed with the class characters and a plot to create a class simile story. Pairs of students were assigned a page and had to write a few sentences, including one .". They are currently working on finishing off the illustrations. This story is great to read to your class even if you aren't teaching figurative language! It's all about a boy who can't help but shout out and the strategy he learns to stop it from happening. I didn't do much beyond read the story as the students were able to easily understand having done similes first. Again, I LOVE this story! There are two sequels as well: "More Parts" and "Even More Parts." They are quite funny. The entire book is an exaggeration, but there's also some idioms in here as well. I started off this lesson by having students wash their hands. They were so intrigued just from that! When they returned to their desks, there was a bowl of Alpha-bits cereal on each table group. I gave them 5 minutes to make as many words as they could. After, I told them "Eat your words." :) I explained that in this situation, I actually meant "eat your words", but that's not what the saying really meant. Only one student has actually heard the saying before, so they explained it to the class. As I read "Amelia Bedelia's First Field Trip" (you could read any Amelia story, they are all full of idioms) the students munched their snack and were on the lookout for other things that sounded one way, but actually meant something else. They were able to find them all! I didn't use a book for this one. We talked about onomatopoeia earlier in the year when working on "great grabbers" for writing. A student did tell me that Batman comics would be really useful for teaching this though. I heard about this book on my favourite website - Pinterest. I ordered it off Chapters website and am very happy I did. The little red pen has a whole lot of marking to do, and none of the other school supplies want to help her. But, when she falls into the Pit of No Return (the garbage can) the supplies get together to help her out. I started off by making a chart with all the supplies as headings. I also had an actual red pen, stapler, eraser, push pin and green highlighter. I had the students describe the items. After reading the story, we added more to the chart based on how the books are in the story. I called a student up to circle any "alive" words. It was at this point I introduced the term personification. Students made their own chart that had the headings: noun, verb and adjective. The added at least 5 items under each. From there, they could create personification sentences such as "the wind tapped softly on my window" or "the car grunted as it slowly climbed the hill". What books do you use for teaching figurative language? Leave me your suggestions in the comments!

I have to admit, I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought “He anoints my head with oil” was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel…
This product was so helpful for all of my students. Originally I had created it for my visual learners, and students with IEPS so that they could have visuals and examples, but all of my students benefited from it.

Included in this packet is definitions, examples, and images for: -metaphor -simile -idiom -alliteration -personification -hyperbole -allusion -imagery -onomatopoeia -analogy -pun
