Footprint

Our first art project we created was a footprint which had to consist of three different types of media on it. I chose a few different things to describe things about me. The airplane and the picture of the girl pointing at the map stands for how much I love to travel. The hills on the bottom represent the Black Hills because that is my absolute favorite place in South Dakota. The pink ballerina shoes represent me because I was in Just For Kix dance for thirteen years of my life. The apple represents my passion of wanting to be a teacher. I also decorated my footprint with the little polka dots because that is my favorite print/pattern.
Extension Activity- Students will also have the opportunity to create this awesome art project as well. I will help them trace their footprints and cut them out. Students will be asked to use three different media types as well. They will have access to any of the art supplies in the classroom that they may want to use. Once students have completed their footprint they will each go up to the front of the class and present their footprints while explaining why they picked the objects they did to represent them.

Print Making Quilting

For this project we had to create a paper quilt using the print making tools. To make the designs on the paper we had to use a gel plate and our choice of stencils to create whatever designs we wanted with paint. We also had to incorporate different colors and patterns into this project. We would cover our gel plate with paint and a stencil and then put paper over that and roll it with a roller over top to push the design into the paper. We then cut out all the different pattern squares and glued them on to a piece of construction paper to create a quilt. An extension activity I would do with this is incorporating it with a book. It could also be connected to wintertime and I could bring in some of my own personal quilts to show the students. This would let students see the patterns on a real quilt and all the design detail that

Paper Fish

For this activity we got to pick two contrasting colors for our fish which are two color that are opposite on the color wheel. We were able to pick our own animal and then trace it on the paper which by having the two colors really made it pop out. We also got to pick our own choice of background pattern that were already cut out pieces of paper. Extension activity: I would bring this project into a science lesson. I would have the student research about the animal that they choice to have on their art project. The students would also have to add five fun facts that they learned on the back of the paper and share with the class.

Clay Coil Pot

I was the teacher for this clay lesson. Everyone created their own coil pot that had to be at least five coils high. It was made out of air-dry clay. Students had to learn how to wedge and slip & score to build their pot. The students had to either add texture, paint , or they were able to even do both if they wanted. Extension Activity: I would incorporate this into a science lesson. Each student would create their own coil pot and then we would plant a seed in it. The students would watch their plant grow and learn about what the essential things are that a plant needs to be able to grow.
