Shoeprint Design Art Sub Plan for Middle School and Elementary

Inspiration for an art lesson can be as close as on your feet. Kids can trace a shoe; notice the tread on the bottom; draw a tread pattern of their own; and color it in.

Originally, I posted a link for this lesson over at Raising Arizon Kids, however their blog is no longer available. So, I looked up "shoe print art" and found some other great ideas. Check out this lesson on the blog Kinderart. They use shoe shapes to inspire other things.

Here are also some cool images of footprints on Flickr.
