Back to School Art Lesson: Journey of My Summer Art Project
Create an ARTASTIC Back to School Art Project with your students that shows both their identity and what they did over the summer. Have students trace their feet and fill in the space with symbols, imagery, and words that reflect who they are (their identity) and where they have traveled or what they did over the summer.
They may have gone on a trip, or walked in their neighborhood, but all these elements build on who we are and how we develop as people.
