This art project is called Footprint Introduction. My art teacher had us trace our footprint on 12x18 construction paper. The requirements for this was to introduce yourself through different pictures and drawings on the paper. We had to use at least three different kinds of media. I choose multiple different pieces/drawings to describe myself. I choose the different kinds of art such as the paintbrush, the calligraphy, and the doodling to express my love for those things and art itself. I added the basketball and the Oklahoma City Thunder tag to show my love for NBA and OKC. I drew the leaf to represent autumn because it is my favorite season. I absolutely love to read, therefore I added a little book that shows my favorite author and book. I also added a drawing of people that says family and friends and a drawing of my dog Sadie, this represents how much those who are close to me mean to me. I added the music notes and headphones to represent how much I love to listen to music and finally I added the apple that says teacher, to represent the excitement I have for becoming a future teacher. This was just a little clip of the things that are important to me and that I love. This was a very fun and simple art project, that would be great to use with many different ages.
Extension Activity:
An extension activity that I would do with this project, would be to have the student create this project first. I would then do a follow-up paper that could later be attached to the footprint. This paper would need to be one page in length. It would need to be written about a couple of the drawings/pieces of art that were on the footprint. Students can explain why they love what they love or why these things are important to them. In this paper, the students must include the members of their family and what their favorite subject in school is and why. Students can also include their favorite quotes or other things that they feel are interesting about them. The main idea of the paper will be to get a deeper look into the student's personalities and to gain an understanding of who they are as an individual.
