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

Vicent Van Gough

We reviewed Van Gogh's paintings and the elements that he used throughout his artwork. We got to use different colored tissue paper to create a background. My landscape was a mountain scenery that remind me of Big Sky Montana. I used mainly cool colors to represent the sky and snow. We also used oil pastels to create snow at the top of my black paper mountains and swirls in the background like Van Gogh did throughout his artwork. Extension: An extension activity I think would be interesting with this art assignment would be for the students to write a short paragraph about the reasoning behind their background color choice and scenery image and use their imaginations. Their paragraph and artwork would be hung up in the hallways outside of the classroom.
