Breanne & Megan had a lesson plan that will really spark the students imagination. It was all based on comics! This is a fun topic that gets children's imagination going. I could really see myself enjoying this lesson in my classroom for many years.
Grade Level- 3rd
Lesson Title- Creating Comic Strips
Goals- *To give the students an experience in mixing two of the secondary colors.
*To introduce students to a variety of comic strips with different meanings.
*To show students how to successfully shade an object.
Objectives-
1. Students will collect materials and tools in a safe and responsible manner.
2. Students will compare and contrast different backgrounds, shapes, colors, expressions, and literary elements.
3. Students will illustrate how different expressive features of illustrations and organizational principles of comic strip frames cause different responses.
4. Students will interpret different responses to each comic strip.
My Thoughts- I really and trully loved this lesson, I can still remember Kellen and I giggling just like a couple of 3rd graders while we read our comics. I thought it was alot of fun and a different "fun" way to "trick" students into learning. When you make the students have fun that is when they learn at their best.
Extension Activity- I thought of a funny extension activity for this project. I thought that the students could do a comic about Mt. Rushmore and have the Presidents arguing about who was the best President. That lesson would be a good way for children to learn more about their Presidential history and they would be having fun at the same time.

Amanda & Tiffany's Lesson
Amanda & Tiffany did a project that I can remember doing when I was younger. I thought it was a great way to take me back to my childhood using a fun yet somewhat tricky lesson. I think my project looked better in my elementary school days! :)
Grade Level- 5th
Lesson Title- Printmaking
Goals- *To introduce the students into the print making process.
*To allow students to experience the printmaking process.
*To integrate cultural traditions into the art making process.
Objectives-
1. Art Production- Design Holiday cards using the printmaking process
2. Affective- recal past holiday memories and what feelings associated with receiving a card.
3. Cognitive and Functional- Plan Composition or pre-plan composition.
My Thoughts- I don't know if I just wasn't feeling the magic that day or what, but i just wasn't feeling this project. I think it was ok and I do think the students would enjoy it but I just can't see myself using this in my classroom. I don't know why, maybe it was because I did my first picture upside down!? I can see how other students would like to use this lesson though. I do think Amanda and Tiffany did do a good job presenting, my opinion has nothing to do with them, I just didn't love this project.

Amanda & Kristin's Lesson
Amanda & Kristin did somthing for their lesson plan that I have never ever heard of before. I have worked with concrete in past summer's, but it was never as fun as these to ladies made it for their lesson!
Grade Level- Kindergarten
Lesson Name- Garden Stepping Stones
Goals- *To give the students an experience using ready-mix cement.
*To allow the students to create their own designs for their stepping stones.
*To give the students the opportunity to use a variety of media to creat the project
Objectives-
1. Students will collect material and tools needed in a safe and careful manner.
2. Students will predetermine what media they are going to use and then create their own original piece.
3. Students will understand ready quick cement and know how it works.
4. Students will identify and use several different media types.
My Thoughts- This project was AWESOME! I thought this was a great way to get students to use one of the most bizzare types of media out there, ready mix cement, what a great idea. This is also something that can be held onto and kept in tact for a long time, I could see mothers and fathers putting this up on display for their child's graduation. This was a great project.
Extension Activity- Coming up with an extension activity for this project was awefully hard, after a long time of thinking I finally figured out what I could do with this unique project. I thought that instead of decorating the ready mix cement with beads and pictures of the students, they could decorate their project with a picture of a former President of the United States, then they could talk a little bit about him like his name, when he was elected, that kind of thing. I think that would be a nice project to display.

Katie Hanson's Lesson Plan
Katie had a very unique project that I have never tried before. So it was time to try new things, and to learn something new for the day!
Grade Level- 4th
Theme- Native American Art
Lesson Name- Sandpaper Art
Goals- *To introduce students an alternative method of sandpainting like the Native Americans
*To give students better understanding of Native American art.
Objectives
1. Art Production- Students will construct a sandpaper picture of Native American art and then use an iron to duplicate the picture.
2. Art History-Students will recognize the different forms of Native American art and will be able to incorporate their patterns into their own work.
3. Cognitive- Students will demonstrate their knowledge of Native American art by creating their own pattern on their sandpaper

3. Cognitive- Students will demonstrate their knowledge of Native American art by creating their own pattern on their sandpaper
My Thoughts- This project was very unique. I thought that it was fun but their were alot of worries involved such as making sure the students colored dark enough so that the iron would have the disired effect. Then of course don't forget about how careful they would have to be using the iron. I would suggest the teacher would be the only one to use the iron, or maybe a high school aid or something. I really do think this is a great lesson though, I'm sure some day I will even use it.
Extension Activity- I think a good activity to bring this project in on is when we are talking about the Native American's from the South Western part of the United States, this would go great with a pottery activity too, and making bead necklace's. I could probably find a week's worth of projects honoring the Native American traditions.

Jordan & Tanners Lesson
Jordan & Tanner had a very tough task ahead of them! They were the first group to present their very own lesson plan to the class. Everyone in the class could tell they worked really hard and didn't throw anything together at the last minute, it was a very thought out process.
Grade Level: 6-8
Lesson Title- Me, Myself, and My Initials
Elements of Design- Contrast Balence Variety
Goals- *To introduce students to design and pattern using collage
*Broaden students intrest in color
*How to create design using various geometric shapes, and colors to create design
Objectives-
1. Students will express their color preference as they choose their favorite color for design
2. Students will use geometric shapes to create a design by using patterns and variety.
3. Students will design and cut out their name or initials.
4. Students will learn about collages through art history.
5. Students will use variety when choosing their photographs.
My Thoughts: I thought this project was fun and a good way for students to use their motor skills to draw, trace, cut, and paste. I think that students would have alot of fun with this project because durning the 6th to 8th grade years students are becoming more and more independent, and their isn't a better way to show your veiws, thoughts, or ideas through collage.
Extension Activity- I thought a good extension activity would be to have the students do a collage of the civil war for American History class. I think that would be a great for students to use art in the history classroom.

Larry Chatman
1. Larry Chatman’s exhibit was pretty impressive. I was impressed with the :”power” of his pictures and the way they grabbed you without using any images of people. I thought for sure to get the point of the devestation and destruction in the 9th ward he would have had to capture people around the rubble, maybe sifting through trying to find there belongings. That is why I was so impressed with his photography is because it made you feel pain without even seeing it on other people’s faces. That is why I do agree with almost everything that Mr. Chatman had said though out his presentation, I was thoughouly impressed.
2. The big thing I would take from his presentation and put into my own work is his passion. Everyone in the room could tell that he was real passionate about all of his pictures and you could tell that he really cared for the people who’s lives where dramaticly changed. I want to be able to take that passion for children learning into my classroom everyday.
3. Guest artists are great for young children. It gives them an opportunity to learn from and experience a most of the time a pretty accomplished artist. It also gives them a chance to learn new aspects of art that maybe there own art teacher hasn’t taught them. I think that whenever students can go on field trips and learn outside of the classroom it is important because you can always “trick” them into learning. I say that because they will be having fun and when kids are having fun they don’t even realize that they are learning valuble lessons. By: Max Foth
