Drawing

Description-
The topic for this project was drawing. In our drawing we had to include five different shapes that connect. The shapes needed to take up a good amount of the paper to be appealing to the viewers. To begin the project I drew lines that were evenly spaced based on the ruler the teacher gave me. Then I drew my shapes to take up the paper. Then I colored with in the lines alternating using my complementary colors. Every time I would come to a new line I would change the color I was using. I was also required by the teacher to color the same direction through the entire project. Overall, I think my project turned out well. I wish I would've take more time to stay with in the lines better.

Extension Activity- 
For an extension activity you could have the students attempt to measure their geometric shapes. The teacher can focus the lesson on teaching the students how to measure different units or find the area based on formulas.

Printmaking

                                        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...
