MS: Shoe Designs

As their last project, MS students designed shoes inspired by places they like to go. We first discussed the purpose of shoes and what they tell us about the person wearing them, such as what they do and where they go. Students then sketched or traced a basic shoe outline and drew a design based on their favorite place. The entire surface had to be activated and saturated with color using colored pencils. I got this idea from Hope Chella, a fellow teacher and friend, and modified it for middle school.
