Clay

-
                            

Description- 
The topic of this assignment was to create an ornament out of clay. We first drew out design on a small sheet of paper. Then we rolled and kneaded our clay. Next, I cut my clay into the right size of circle based off of the teachers template. I used a small tool to create my design with the lines. I created the "K" by rolling the clay then slipping and scoring the back to apply it to my project. Finally, I painted my project.

Extension Activity- 
An extension activity could be having the student write a letter to bring home with the project. I am giving mine to my brother and with it I would have to write him a note. It would be a sentimental way to give the project to him. At the same time then the students are working on their writing.

                                        Description - The topic of this project was printmaking and this was the lesson I taught. To begin this project the student colored in a circle from the inside out to create the background. Next they drew a design on a small piece of paper. Next they taped their paper to a small Styrofoam piece of paper and began to trace over it. Then they took off the paper and traced over their lines on the Styrofoam again. The students rolled paint over their Styrofoam and placed it on their paper. They rolled the back of the Styrofoam to transfer the paint. When they peeled back the Styrofoam the design was on their paper. They repeated the printing process three more times. Extension Activity-  An extension activity could be having the students share with a partner why they chose the design they did. Then explain to their partner how it shows rad...

Crayon and Oil Pastel

Description - We did a scratch art project with a snowy theme. First we drew our project onto a piece of paper. I drew a snowman and some kids sledding in the back to show depth. Then, we traced our drawing onto the scratch art sheet. After that I took the paper off and drew directly onto the scratch art. Extension activity-  An extension activity for this project could be using these sheets to have the students do math problems. It would be a fun and engaging way for them to work on their math skills. It is different so the students would automatically be excited to use it.

Starry Night

Description :  This project was inspired by Vincent van Goghs Starry Night. I glued tissue paper onto a black piece of construction paper. I got to glue the paper however I wanted to so I could create a picture that resembled Starry Night. Then once the glue had dried I cut out a setting that I wanted to place in front of my sky. I cut the setting out of more black construction paper and glued it on. I chose the snowy mountains because the colors of tissue paper I chose reminded me of the Northern Lights. I felt like mountains would be fitting for that setting. Finally, I colored white lines using an oil pastel to show movement. I also colored the tops of my mountains to make them look covered in snow.  Another part of this activity was to listen to a presentation about Vincent van Gogh and write three fun facts about him on a slip of paper.  Extension Activity:  A fun extension activity would be have the students write a creative narrative story...
