Me, Myself, and My Initials

Scrapbooking

This lesson was on scrapbooking. We were to bring 2 pictures to class to class for the project, but if you did not have pictures, you could use magazine pictures like I did. We were to pick out our background design paper and be as creative as possible. My design was on some of my favorite foods, which are fish and potatoes. I thought this is a very age appropriate for children of all ages. An extension to this project would to have the children tell the class the meaning/story behind your scrapbook piece of art.

Stepping Stone

This is a first (1st) grade project that can be very funny and messy for the students. You had to option to bring a picture to put into the cement, but the only thing required to bring was an empty cool whip bowl for the cement to form in. The first step was the pick out your design, and then go poor the cement into the bowl. The design I chose, if you can see it, it the"GT" logo for my hometown Groton Tigers, and the also the number ten (10) above the "GT" logo which is my coaching number for baseball. I thought it was an interesting project especially for first graders. Personally I believe this is more of a fourth grade project. An extension project for this would be to incorporate this project with a math lesson. The students could learn shapes and designs and use that knowledge to design their stepping stone.

Scratch Art Drawings

These scratch art drawings are of three (3) different things. The items drawn were a basketball, a biology book, and a church. None of these items are alike. The basketball was easy to draw, but because of scratch art, you can't really add shading. I tried to make the book and the church have a 3D appearence. Not the best drawing, I know, but I tried.
Sketchbook

The sketchbook I have created is green with curved red stripes with red glitter. I use this sketchbook to come up with different drawing from my imagination, surroundings, and also assignments. The book was not difficult to make and is something every art class, especially in elementary school, should look into making at the beginning of each year.
