Snowman feet

Today in my field experience class for my other class the students got to paint their feet and make snowmen ornaments out of it.  This was a pretty interesting thing to watch.  The students loved to do it and you could see on their faces that they were having fun.  It was also a could way to teach the students that they can make anything into art.  The students were a little skeptical at first that this was not going to work but once they saw an example and started to make them they were on board.  This taught them that they can use whats around them, and to really use their imagination.  I think we stifle students imagination to much and they become bored with school.  If we spark their imagination with art I think that would change tremendously.
