Footprint Introduction

-

 Description: This was an introduction project made to introduce yourself. I used three types of media including crayons, markers, and one object. The shoe represents walking and running. Pizza represents my favorite food. The bag represents my shopping addiction. The boat represents my favorite thing to do in the summers. The leaf represents my favorite season which is fall. The N represents my favorite college team the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The tree represents my favorite holiday being Christmas. The seashell represents my love for the beach and traveling. The dog represents my favorite animal. The coffee mug represents my favorite thing to drink. I am from a small town in South Dakota so that is what the state represents. Lastly, the volleyball represents my favorite sport to watch.

Extension activity: An extension activity would be doing a math lesson on measuring objects around the classroom with their own footprint.

Description: For this project, we created a Vincent van Gogh scene using tissue paper, construction paper, oil pastels, and mod podge. I used a yellow, red, and orange background to represent a warm climate. For my front scene I chose to do mountains. For the sky I drew lines to show a slight windy breeze and I also drew stars with white oil pastel.  Extension Activity: An extension activity would be to have students solve math facts and then color the picture of The Starry night to help them memorize their math facts.

 Description: For this activity we traced our hand on a white piece of construction paper. We then colored in our hand with a brown crayon. After coloring in our hand, we drew piles on the bottom of the paper for the leaf bushes. After coloring in our hand, we used paint for our finger prints for the leaves. The colors we used were red, yellow, and orange. To get orange we mixed the two colors of red and yellow. After completing the top of the tree, we finger painted leaves falling onto the ground!  Extension Activity: An extension activity for this, would be taking students outside to collect their own leaves! Students could then add the leaves to their painting by pressing or stamping the leaves  to create and see textures that reflect the real world.
