Aim for Your Goal
Capture the sweet sense of success and boost self-esteem, envisioning the accomplishment of personal goals in an original work of art.
1. Why is it important to set reasonable goals for yourself? How is setting goals similar to athletic events or musical performances, where training and practice relate directly to success and growth? Think of one goal you have set for yourself. Is your goal athletic? Academic? Social?
2. With Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils, write a short story about your goal and achievement in a sport, music, or other area. Outline the steps you took, or are taking, to succeed. Describe how it will feel to accomplish your goal.
3. Cover a table top with recycled newspaper. Use Crayola Washable Paint and Brushes, to paint a dramatic picture of yourself achieving your goal. Imagine how delighted you will be. Dry your painting on a flat surface.
4. With Crayola Washable Markers, add important details to your painting, such as outlines, background patterns, or facial features.
5. Attach your story to your painting with a Crayola Washable Glue Stick for display.
