Footprint

This is a project that I made in Art Methods.  I drew an outline of my foot on a piece of construction paper.  I then wrote my name on my footprint and filled it with pictures and drawings of the things that describe me.  The daisies on the heel represent my favorite season which is spring and also daisies are my favorite flower.  The Christmas tree represents my favorite holiday.  The dog, cat, and penguin represent my favorite animals.  I am always listening to music and I like to sing.  That is why there are music notes.  Finally, the barn represent that I grew up on a farm and I like to live in the country.

When I become a teacher I can use a project similar to this with my students.  Yes, I could use it to have students introduce themselves in the beginning of the school year but I can also use it in different subjects.  I could use it in history.  Students can pick a famous president or figure and make a footprint based on a famous act they have done in history.  I could also use it in science.  Students can pick a famous experiment and place the important aspects of that experiment on the footprint.  The possibilities are endless.  This is a great activity that I believe many students would enjoy to do.
