Footprint Introduction

Description: I made this footprint using three different media with marker, crayon, cotton balls, wooden sticks, newspaper articles, lego figures, and energy drink cans. I used these materials to help desrcibe a little bit about me. I used the cotton ball by tranforming it into a baseball to represent that I play college baseball. I used a lego figure to show my hobbies of Harry Potter and Legos. I used newspaper articles to show different hollidays and favorite foods. All of these things help descirbe me as a person and allow classmates the opportunity to get to know me a little bit more.  Extension Activity: With this footprint students will use there art immages tranforming them into storries. They will go in depth describing why they put the media on their foot and go into what the media means to them in their personal lives.
