Weaving Craft

For this craft project we created a yarn bracelet. We created the weaving by picking three different colors and weaving through three straws that were taped together on the end. To create the next color to be incorporated we would tie a little knot to the other color of yarn , so that once it ran out the new color would start. Once we were done weaving we knotted the end and pulled the straws out from the yarn.
Extension Activity: This project could be tied into a Social Studies lesson. We had learned about the Native American culture that weaving originated from, so I would have the students create a mini power point on Native American culture to the class. Native American culture is a wide culture that we have here in South Dakota, so it would really benefit the students.

Dot Project

During class today, we learned about the dot. We got to make an art project with a coffee filter and experiment to see how different types of drawing utensils would react on the filter. On my filter I chose to use oil pastels and then I used markers to make the color blead when I painted the water on it. Where I used the oil pastels in rejected the water. Extension Activity: I would post dots all over the school and have the students go on a hunt to find them.The studnets would also have to find an object around the school that looks like a dot as well and take a picture of it with their shcool camera or ipad. This will be perfect to get the studnets up and moving.

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 c...

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.
