Batike

This was a lot of fun to make the Batike. I really enjoyed the outcome, it did bleed a little. I think this looks like the rose from Beauty & The Beast. 

Age Appropriate Activity

My fourth grade lesson plan was creating positive and negative monsters during Halloween time. My project is age appropriate because I got my main idea out of the core curriculum so I know that it is an appropriate activity. The students use positive and negative space to create any kind of monster they want. They need to be able to identify positive and negative space and use it correctly. They will be able to this by the end of the activity after being shown examples and looking at their own creations. This is something that needs to be taught in fourth grade.

Map of My Life

This is a map of my life. It shows major events starting from birth to present time. Events such as where I was born, starting school, graduating from hight school, college, and my feelings about each event. 

My wire sculpture as a student with poor motor skills

This is my snake made out of wire. I am not very fond of it, but then again I did have gloves on. It was interesting to see how certain people acted with their disabilities. It is also very important to give different types of instructions when you have students with disabilities, especially when the all have a different disability because they can't all learn in the same way.

Pots

Pinch Pot
I like this one more than the coil pot. The clay was easier to work with on this one and it was easier to form the shape I wanted. Although the shape of this pot just sort of happened, I really liked the outcome.

Coil Pot
I didn't like this one as much as the pinch pot. I found it harder to make because the clay would get dry so quickly it was hard to form the coils. I do like the color though.

African Masks

I loved the african mask. I was also very impressed with how well the milk cartons turned out. Every one of ours was so different and we each found unique ways to make them. This is a very fun project that I can see any student enjoying.

Google Sketch-Up

                                                                              

                      

Google sketch-up was very frustrating, yet fun to use. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I was a little more educated on how to use it. It's almost like the game Sims and I can see students really enjoying this and being able to construct their own structure. 

Alphabet Scratchboard

T

I enjoyed making the scratchboard. It did take me a long time do do the coloring. It was fun to see the finished project. There are so many different things you can do with a scratchboard and I'm glad that I now know how to make them. 

Oil Pastels

This is probably my favorite project we did. We had to draw what we saw looking out our window at night. I promise, it's darker in person. I really enjoyed creating this picture and blending the colors together.
