Food trucks have become really popular lately, so most of my students were familiar with them. They loved coming up with their own food truck ideas, some were really unique.

We started out this project by reading Food Truck Fest. Then we took some time to brain storm ideas. What kind of food would our trucks serve? Where would it be located? How would the truck look? Once we had the ideas sketched out, we drew our trucks in pencil on watercolor paper, painted them in puck tempera, added details with paint pens, and outlined in Sharpie. The final step was optional. We used mini clothes pins, yarn, and paper to make a pennant banner to decorate the trucks. Most students spent three class periods on this project. They put a lot of work into the details. I’m sharing all the ones I got a picture of. I missed a few. 🙁
