Introduction Footprint

An introduction project where we traced our foot on colored paper. The footprint had to include three different mediums, our name, and items that represent us. I added my school, hobbies, favorite foods, and family, which gave others a little insight into who I am and what I enjoy.  

After completing the footprint project, students will post their footprints on a bulletin board to create a “class path.” This display shows how each student is unique while still being part of the same classroom community. It helps students learn about one another and feel connected to the class.

Warm colors are red, orange, and yellow, and cool colors are green, blue, and purple. One of the main skills we worked on was how to draw upside down. Drawing this way helps you focus more on the shapes and outlines instead of worrying about every little detail of the object. Before starting our final piece, we also made red glasses, which would later help us see the hidden image in our artwork by blocking out the warm colors. For my project, I chose to draw a monkey. I drew it upside down using a cool color, which helped keep it hidden later on. After finishing the drawing, I used warm-colored crayons to add patterns over the entire page. I used the different warm colors and different patterns to hide the monkey. When looking at the artwork normally, you mostly see the bright patterns. However, when y...
