To begin the project we used tempera paint and paint rollers. We received a sheet of styrofoam paper and but it in half, and were instructed to draw 3 things that were important to us on one of the sheets, but backwards. And on the other sheet we drew alternating lines and shapes. We then took a paint roller and rolled paint onto the styrofoam sheet and put that sheet to the construction paper. Then we took another paint roller and pressed into the styrofoam to put the image to the paper. We repeated this one more time with the same color and another time with a different color. Then we took our other styrofoam sheet with the symbols on it and did the same thing, but only once. Then we wrote our names on our sheets.
An extension activity could be to write a short narrative on why the students pick their symbols and what it means to them.
