Science project: Food-dye Color Wheel Every year about this time I start to really, REALLY crave color. Like clockwork, every January I start scheming about decorating with yellow or orange or something bright just to liven things up a bit. It's been a little better this year because my kitchen is south-facing and everything is white and light blue, so it feels nice and light and airy. That being said, I still think more color this time of year is great. So, the kids and I made this fun food-dye color wheel the other day. It was a great little science and art project. It was such fun, and I couldn't believe how patient the kids were (ages 3 and 5), just staring at the colored water move slowly up the paper towels and mixing together. Here's what you need to make this fun color wheel: 6 clear cups 6 paper towels red food dye blue food dye yellow food dye Here's what you do to make the color wheel: 1) Fill 3 cups with water and mix in red food dye into one, blue food dye into the second and yellow food dye into the third.

paco morgado fyrfemmansc.blogg.se - Silhuettmålning I våras arbetade vi med att skapa silhuetter i bildämnet. En Silhuett/siluett är bilden av en person, ett objekt eller landskap som enbart består av en kontur och där det som är i silhuett ofta är svartfärgat. Termen Silhuett, som har fått sitt namn efter fransmannen Étienne de Silhouette (1709-1767), användes till en början under 1700-talet för att beskriva profilporträtt eller andra bilder utklippta i tunt svart papper (Wikipedia). Förmågan som eleverna tränade under arbetets gång var att skapa bilder med hantverksmässiga tekniker och verktyg samt med olika material. Den här gången använde vi oss enbart av vattenfärger. Målen med arbetet var att: varje elev skall efter avslutat arbete veta vad en silhuett ärvarje elev skall skapa sin egen silhuett genom att använda relevanta tekniker på ett i huvudsak fungerande sätt. Eleverna skapade först sin bakgrund för att sedan, när denna torkat, lägga på sin silhuett. Text och bild: Cecilia Bergentz
