F is for Feet F is for Feet Submitted by Angie Fitzpatrick , art teacher in Coal Point Public School NSW Australia.
Children love to trace around their body parts.
We took off our shoes and socks and then traced around our feet with big textas on blank sheets of paper. Next we used wax crayons to make colourful patterns on our feet outlines. When completed we washed over our entire design with a bright coloured dye. We like to use light coloured crayons like yellows, oranges, light blues and greens, under darker dyes of purples, deep blues and greens or bright red because they look very effective. When dry the children cut out their feet outlines and we put them up around our walls as footprints walking around our room.
