To start off this lesson, Carlee and Cassie had each of us take a sheet of paper, a pencil, and a paper plate. We were then asked to stick the pencil through the paper plate so we were not able to see what we were drawing. We looked at an object in front of us and traced the outline of the object, without picking up our pencil. Once we had done that drawing, we were given another sheet of white paper and we taught about a Japanese artist that takes every day objects and makes them look giant compared to little people in the artwork. I chose a glue bottle and drew the shape of the glue bottle to cover the majority of the paper. Then I drew little stick people really small and turned my glue bottle into a "school." We were then asked to add color.
An extension activity for this project could be incorporating it into math. You could tell the students that they need to use their ruler and measure out a certain number of inches that their object has to be. The students could choose what object they wanted to draw and then would create the same sort of concept. You could also tell the students to have their little people be a certain number of inches tall. This would help them learn how to use a ruler and be able to measure properly.
