Lots of Socks!

BRRRRR!  There's nothing better than a warm pair of socks on a chilly winter day and what could be better than crazy socks?  Second grade students put on their creative thinking caps and designed some one-of-a-kind booties using line design as their inspiration.  

We examined some crazy socks to get the creative juices flowing and drew our socks free-hand with some guidance.  Once the sock was drawn, a heel, toe, and stretchy ribbed top was added.  Then the craziness began!  First, students drew in unusual lines to define different sections.  

Second, students filled in the various sections with a different line designs.  Lastly, glitter watercolor paints were applied to the different sections to bring out the "real" crazy in those crazy socks!   They are currently on display outside the second grade classrooms.
