Creating A Comic Strip
This projects objective was to use shading to create a comic strip. We were given a 12 x 8 sheet of paper and asked to fold it equally into 6 spots. We were then asked to brainstorm a creative plot of events. I came up with a tiger who wants more spots who finally realizes he is beautiful just the way he is because his mother tells him so! This could also be used with specific objectives assigned such as safari animals and teaching a geography lesson based on where safari animals come from.

Sandpaper Art
This was a project in which Native American art was used. We were shown different designs and colors used in Native American art. We were then given a piece of sand paper and asked to use the whole piece of sand paper to color in our design using crayons. After we were done coloring in the sand paper we were given a blank white piece of paper the same size as the sand paper and asked to iron the white piece of paper onto the sand paper. This cased the crayon to melt and intern melt onto the white piece of paper causing two of the same pictures. This could also be used when teaching a science lesson when teaching heat and humidity. As well as integrating it into a literature lesson having students write about Native American Art

Me, Myself, and My Initials

This project was done by myself as well as Tanner. This project is used to show your personal and physical development by using geometric figures and your initials as an outline. In this project they first picked two pieces of colored paper and drew their initial design, they then cut their design out and traced it onto the uncut piece. They then choose a geometric design for their pictures. They cut out their pictures or ads by using their geometric figure in different sizes and glued them onto the uncut picture. They then glued the cut out piece onto the uncut piece. This project could also be used to make a family tree and brought into your English classrooms and have your students write about how their specific figure and appearance has changed as they grew from newborn to current age.

Clay Project

Our clay projects were used with air dry clay, where no kiln is needed to dry the clay. This allows for the use of acrylic paints. We were first asked to listen to a tape and make a pinch bowl. We had the choice if we wanted to keep and use the pinch bowl or make a different project. I chose to make something that represented myself as a person more. I chose to create a staff with notes and rests on it backed by my initials.

Lexicon Collages

These lexicon collages were a compilation of the work of four people. We were first given four pieces of paper with 4 words on them. We were then to write our own definition of the words and then create our own design based on what comes to mind with that particular word. We then had the choice to keep our favorite one and give the 3 others to a classmate, where they then intern did the same thing. This went on a total of 4 times with different methods, such as collage, scratching and removing, as well as painting.

Sketchbook Projects
Scratch Art

The sketchbook projects were taken from one of our sketchbook projects. I decided to choose my second picture I drew. This is from the T.V show Glee. You first took and put your sketchbook picture over the scratch art piece of black and took your scratch pen and outlined your piece of paper so when you picked up the sketchbook page up the picture was imprinted onto the black. You then took the pen and scratched off the parts of the black that you wanted to show through.

Sketchbook
The sketchbook was made from scratch at the same time we made the Eric Carle collages. we first took a large piece of paper and painted our design that we chose. we then took two 1 in. thin pieces of paper to create the binding. We also sewed the binding into the 20-30 piece of paper that were used for our sketchbook pages. We then glued the first and last pages of the sketchbook pages to the front and back of our designed piece of cardboard paper.
