Polygon Clouds Integrated Math Lesson Activity


This is a lesson idea to integrate art into the math curriculum. The students take their polygons out of their math kit and throw them onto the paper. Then they trace them. When done, they trade the paper to another student and that student tries to see if there is a picture they can make with the shapes. I created an American Indian out of my shapes.

Imagine It Art Game


This is an art game that I created. It is a kind of charades game. There are 9 cards that can be used. A person draws a card and tries to get the other people to guess exactly what is on the other card. For example: On one card are the words "You are a world famous concert singer".

It goes on like that until the cards are gone.

My daughter's Storyboard


This is my storyboard assignment. It came about by way of my asking my daughter to help me write a story so that I could create the storyboard from it. She had so much fun that I let her do the whole thing. She wrote it, drew it and told it in my Art 3000 class. I was so proud of her!

ABC's of the Ford Family's Adventures


This is a book that I created with my own families pictures to illustrate the ABC's. I used pictures of our vacations. I printed letters onto cardstock and cut them out with scrap booking scissors. It took my a good 5 hours to complete. I am very proud of it!

Recycled FLower City




This is my recycled utopian flower city. It was based on Disney's movie Meet the Robinsons. It is made up of my recyclables. I recycle glass, plastic, Styrofoam, cardboard, newspaper, and magazines. I covered the plastic in paper mache. Then I primed it and spray painted it. I added scrap booking paper with flowers on it to make it prettier. The clay figures are a stop sign and a convertible car.
