Foot Print Introductions

This is a really fun piece of artwork to do with a class while using numerous forms of media! Each students will trace one or both feet, then cut them out. The students have to write or make their name out of multiple fonts or medias. The students can put their name on their foot or separate like mine. The students have to decorate the feet in a way that represents them. They must use at least four different medias (markers, crayons, cutouts, etc). The students will love this and become very creative!
The students could explain what is on their foot and why in front of the class which would be a great start to a speaking and listening unit, they could make it for another person in the class on the first day then you could discuss how much we assume about a person without knowing them, or it could lead into a writing assignment.
My example has my name made out of the newspaper because I love reading it. I put the name of my hometown and college on it because they have helped shape me. I drew my family and the cabin because my favorite memories are with my family at the cabin. I also drew a fish and me skiing because those are my favorite things to do at the cabin. There is a cup of tea and an 'I read banned books" pin because I love to read with a cup of tea. There is a chalkboard because I want to teach as well as the drama faces because I was involved in theater and enjoy watching plays.
