A message from Ms. McGee: Today's art project is inspired by the experiences of a character in the book Those Shoes. First we'll read the book together, and then you'll make a drawing. Here's the story: That story has an important message. We realize that it's okay to want something special. But REALLY, the important thing is NOT something we wear... instead, what makes us special is what's in our hearts! Our kindness and empathy for others is most important. In this story, the boy thought he would enjoy having the best and most wonderful shoes to wear. But he realized that someone else had a bigger need, and he was able to help them. And-- he made a new friend! We know that it's what's on the inside that counts. Our hearts and minds are what make us who we are as a person. The shoes and clothes that we wear on the outside are not what is important! But-- what if we could wear clothing that shows how unique and special each of us is? Today you will get to design your own shoes. Think about who you are as a person, and what is important and special and meaningful about you. Use those thoughts when you are making your design! Watch this video to see an example: Here are some examples from other artists: Things to remember: - Use YOUR ideas in the design, instead of just copying the examples. - Think about your favorites (colors, foods, animals, sports, activities, pets, special people in your life, or anything else that is important to you). - Use the color sticks from the art room OR any other coloring materials you have. - Keep working until you have paid attention to every space. You can color the background space around the shoe, too! - If you finish early: write a sentence describing each of the special parts of your design. - You can keep your paper and take it home to finish. If you have extra time: Here are some related videos about kindness and celebrating who we are!
