All About Me Interview Art Project

We are kicking off the beginning of our homeschool year with an Back to School themed art project!

We decided to add a bit of artistic expression to this theme with this Personal Flag Art Project.

This art project would be a fun "get to know you project" for your classroom and/or a fun twist on the typical first day interview activities.

It would also make a fun project to start your homeschool year and would make a great addition to your homeschool room!

What you'll need:

Marker Paper
Markers
Pencil
extra sheet of paper

All About Me Project

To begin, I talked about the flag of the United States of America and how the symbols on the flag represent something else, i.e. fifty stars represents the 50 States.

I told my son that he would be making a flag that would represent him; a flag that would describe who he is, what he likes, etc!

We drew out a tree map to help him sort out what kinds of things he could share on his flag, such as his age, likes, favorite food, favorite color, family members, etc.

Next, I tried to get him to think of ways he could represent those things by pictures or symbols.

I gave him a pennant shaped piece of heavy marker paper and colored makers and "let him do his thang!" I decided to join in the art project, too and made my own flag!
