Boots!

| The boots represent Clothing as Art. After discussing how much art is involved in the clothing we wear, I read The Armadillo Rodeo, by Jan Brett.Then we looked at a pair of real cowboy boots. As a final experience, we practiced drawing the boot shape. Once this was completed, the children got to practice creating a design for their boots. The following class they created a new pair of boots and water colored the larger areas. The final class was devoted to detailing and cleaning up the edges. The fourth grade children were impressed with how much art is involved in their lives. | |
