For the third art project I chose to use salt dough. I chose this material because it seemed easy to work with, and I knew I could easily integrate it into any lesson in my future classroom.
The process of making salt dough is very simple, mix salt, flour, and water to the consistency of a dough. Then you are able to manipulate it into any shape or creation that you want.
This would be great for students of any age because it would allow them to be creative and make artwork that is important and relevant to them.
I chose the make Mickey Mouse ears because Disney is a huge part of my life. I grew up going to Disney every few years, and am currently employed at The Disney Store. My love for all things Disney is very evident in my day-to-day life so it only seemed appropriate that I make Mickey Mouse ears.
Through this process I learned about the importance of ratios while making the salt dough mixture, as well as how relaxing it was to just sit and create artwork with my hands.
Using this idea in the classroom would be great during the fall months!
