Think about the qualities that make a comic book superhero: Extra Ordinary Abilities and Powers. Courageous. Strong Moral Code. A Great Sense of Responsibility. Fighting Spirit. Mental Stability. These heroes are faced with many challenges but they fight to overcome them. But not all superheroes are works of fiction… In these strange and difficult times, we are seeing countless people in all areas of society stepping up to aid and support others - these people are REAL LIFE superheroes!

I’ve added mine as an example. https://www.heroized.com/ Art and Design - Superhero Logos/Costumes One of the most iconic things about a superhero is that they all have a unique logo usually found on their chest (or shield, belt buckle, car, helicopter, what have you), like the classic ones you see above and we know exactly who they are just by seeing this logo. Most logos are a symbol that represents the hero’s identity either by being linked to their name or their superpower. Have a look at some superhero logos online and why not even challenge yourself to play the quiz and see how many you can guess correctly (I got 65%!) Guess the superhero quiz: https://www.thequiz.com/the-biggest-nerd-cant-match- these-logos-to-their-superheroes-can-you/ Your challenge is to create a logo for a NEW superhero. You can use the superpower ideas below for inspiration OR just completely design your own hero’s superpower. You can also adapt an existing logo if you want. - Wind power - Water power - Super hearing - Invisibility - Can communicate with animals As always, you can show your work in any way that you wish to: - Draw/paint/colour it - Why not make the logo out of paper/card/fabric and turn one of your existing toys into a new superhero (I’m going to add mine on to a stuffed sheep that I’ve got!) - If you have any fabric pens/paint why not turn an OLD t-shirt into a cool new superhero t-shirt/costume (WITH YOUR ADULTS PERMISSION FIRST!!!) - Or something completely different! Here’s an example of a logo for a new superhero with the powers of a scorpion! BANKSY ART Look at the amazing new art piece by our already-studied artist, Banksy.
