This art project was based off of a lesson taught on graffiti. We had to write our name 10 different times and they needed to overlap at least 5 times. We also needed to have 2 different symbols and needed to follow a color scheme. I created two symbols that followed two different color schemes: warm and cold.
As an extension activity I would have students discuss different places we've seen graffiti and different types of graffiti like the new clean movement graffiti where art is created by cleaning certain areas and not others. Then we can recreate those methods.

This was my lesson project based off of the book The Egg by M. P. Robertson. We created our own dragon eggs using plastic egg molds and clay. Then we added decorations and painted it. I did not leave a hole on the bottom of my egg for moisture to seep out through so my egg cracked and I had to decorate that.

As an extension activity I would have students create a story on where their egg came from and what will happen when it hatches. will it be a good or bad dragon? 

This is an art project based off of a lesson taught about Japanese cherry blossoms. First we were taught a little background information on Japanese cherry blossoms and their importance to different cultures. Then we were given a long piece of paper a straw and watered down black paint. We used the straw to blow the paint out and create branches then we could either use the bottom of a soda bottle or cotton swabs to create the blossoms. I used the cotton swabs.

As an extension activity I would have students pick out a type of tree they would like to create to represent a season and we would create more scrolls and find different techniques to create more trees to represent each season.

This is a mothers day project. We made geometric flowers using scrapbook paper and stems using Popsicle sticks. We cut out large green strips of construction paper and glued them around the stick. Then we put those to a side to dry. After that we were given a stencil to trace and we created our flower by using that. Inside our flower we wrote notes to our mother or whoever the intended receiver was.
As an extension activity I would have students create a paper vase to put the flowers in.

This art project was a lesson based off of Picasso. We created a profile view and a forward view of the face in one picture using oil colors and crayons. The primary concept of this lesson was abstract art which was taught very well.
As an extension activity I would add a background for the face. The background would need to be abstract as well. The face could either be cut out and pasted onto the abstracrt background or the student could color around the face.

This lesson was based off of Mexican art. We used small wooden tools to emboss tin foil and create a symbol that represents something. Then we decorated it in bright colors to replicate Mexican art.

As an extension activity I would have students create a couple more to create a story and have them link onto one another by whole punching the bottom and linking them with more pipe cleaners. We can then decorate the classroom and students can take theirs home when the decorations come down.

This is a lily pad made of construction paper and tissue paper. For this lesson we were first taught about lily pads and where they were found and then we looked at a certain artist and made this project based off of that. 

As an extension activity I would have students create a paper origami frog or fish. Therefore we can go deeper into what the lily pad does for the environment and what does it provide a habitat for.
