Shoe Art

This was a two-part assignment.  The first part was a drawing assignment and the second part was a sculpture assignment.  For the first part, students created an observational drawing of a shoe that represented them.  They included 5 words that described themself as well as images that could be drawn on the shoe.  The drawing was entirely based upon them, giving it an abstract flare that would make their shoe drawing come to life.  The second portion of this assignment was a sculpture. Students were to bring in a shoe that they would like to use in order to create some type of shoe art.  The assignment was very open-ended.  They could turn the shoe into an animal, monster, landscape, etc.  It was entirely up to them how they would alter the shoe.  This is what 6th and 7th graders created.
