I had a lot of fun creating this project. I was able to express myself using multiple medias. I worked with construction paper, tissue paper, sequins, foam paper, and markers. If I were to explain this project to a fellow educator I would explain the steps for creating it. First, have your students trace the outline of their foot on construction paper. Second, have them brainstorm ideas for different things that represent them. On the foot I created, everything about the foot represents my life. The soccer ball represents my love for soccer and how I play it at NSU, the palm tree is for my family trips to California, the heart represents how close I am with my family, the mountains, rain, sailboat and tree represents my home state of Washington, the dog represents my Newfoundland and the dress represents my love of shopping. After the students have brainstormed all their ideas, have them find different medias to represent them and glue them on the foot. This project has no limits on creativity. The students can go in any direction they want. After their foot is created the students can introduce themselves to the class, this gives them a chance to have the spotlight and have them tell the whole class about themselves. For an extension activity with this art project I would have the students write a story about themselves and their favorite activities. This extension project relates to Language Arts.
