Dot Painting

For this project we drew out a rose in pencil and then created three different shades of the color of our choice. I used the color blue. Then we took q-tips and dotted the different colors on our drawing. For the background I chose to use colored pencil and shade it in and add some green leaves. Extension Activity: I would have students write a paragraph about their favorite type of flower and what they like about that certain type of flower. I would also have it so that students would go out and take a picture of an actual flower as well.

Name Drawing

In this drawing lesson it was focused on creating lines. We used a white piece of paper and had to create our name or nickname in the center of the paper. We traced our name in black sharpie and then then were told to shade our name in a solid color. The rest of the paper had to be filed with a bunch of different patterns. We had to incorporate different drawing tools I used crayons, markers and colored pencils. Extension Activity: An extension activity for this project would be to have the students write a paragraph about why they picked the designs for the background of their drawing. I would also have students write about what their favorite colors are.

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.
