Maddy's Art Methods

Elements and Principles I chose this image I took when I was at home after a rain storm. This image represents space because when you look at the picture it seems like you can look far into the distance. The road gets smaller as you look further away. The trees in the distance are also smaller, which helps give the image depth. This picture I took of my grandpa's puppies shows unity because all of the puppies are close to each other and are the same breed, color and size.  This picture I took of the sunset over the lake shows value because there are many different shades of lightness and darkness. Next to the sunset the water is really orange and as it gets closer to the dock its much darker.  This picture I took of the adorable boys I nanny shows emphasis because when looking at this picture your eyes automatically go to the boys looking at the water in their bright shirts. They are also off centered which makes them stand out even more compare...

Footprint Project Description: I created my footprint project to tell my class a little more about me! I am Ms. Norris and I wrote my name in my favorite color blue. In the top left corner I included the things I enjoy most. I enjoy fishing, playing basketball, running, and being active in my church family. I included a picture of Jeff, who is a boy my family sponsors since our trip to Haiti three years ago. Jeff represents my love of traveling. Next, is a picture of my dog and best friend, Lyla Mae. I included a drawing of Iowa with a star over my hometown, Graettinger. Then, I drew a picture of a softball bat, because in the summer I enjoy helping with my high school softball team. In the top right corner, I included newspaper cutouts of my favorite foods; sour gummy worms, pizza, cookies and Lindor chocolates. I also enjoy making bracelets and planting flowers. I love the Harry Potter series, so I made a wand out of a toothpick and a lightening bolt.  This project...
