Getting to the Goal
Visualize goals and dreams as you use markers to draw yourself overcoming obstacles.
1. What is a goal that you have set for yourself, either in the immediate future or long term? Decide on a single goal that you really are eager to achieve. What would you like to learn or do?
2. With Crayola® Markers, draw a picture of yourself achieving your goal. For instance, if your goal is to become a great artist, draw yourself painting or sculpting a masterpiece.
3. What challenges might you have to overcome to achieve your goal? Place drawings of those obstacles in the background of your artwork.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
- Use Crayola® Crayons, Tempera Paint, and Brushes to do a crayon resist picture of reaching a goal.
- Older children decide on several goals. They design a board game, with the obstacles identified as "traps" on the way. Game pieces can be made with Crayola® Model Magic®.
- Make a classroom mural/game that focuses upon classroom goals. Use student sculptures of themselves as game pieces, and move them along the mural as children achieve their classroom objectives.
