I feel like we managed to cover several subjects today. A little of Science, a bit of Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Art and Sports. This art project was an attempt to work with shading. The paints didn't co-operate as I had hoped they would but oh well. First draw a picture, anything you want in the centre of the page, then use water colours in one colour to add varying degrees of shading around the image. Then fill in the image with zentangle doodles.
And in math today we worked on fractions, decimals, and percentages and how they relate to each other. Of course it didn't hurt to use junk food as a motivator.
100 pieces of licorice (well 50 cut in half)
What percentage of the licorice have been covered?
And here's an art project that we did a couple of weeks ago but I forgot to post. We took advantage of book stores giving away calenders which hadn't sold and cut the pictures into tiny strips, then we drew an animal silhouette. This was a giraffe that didn't have enough room on the page for a longer neck. Then simply glue the strips on. I chose to do a tree which might have been a nice project for Fall since we were using lots of golden hues.
