This is a project that I'm revisiting from a few years ago (initially posted
here.) One of our curriculum goals in sixth grade social studies is to have students explore technological advances that helped with exploration. As a class we studied the compass, sextant, hourglass, and astrolabe, and then students did additional research about the technology of their choice.
Using pencil, they drew their object onto drawing paper, then used a variety of metallic paints (gold, bronze, silver) and watercolor to paint in their drawings. Once they were finished, they chose a map from an old atlas I had in my class, and took their maps home to burn them. I am
beyond impressed with their quality of work!
Very, very cool. The drawings are really amazing! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I like the idea that the kids take their maps home to burn, one less potential drama. I am keen to try this idea, thanks. I will pin and attempt a version next year.
ReplyDeleteHi Aly- Hoping you could help with another of your projects. I am trying to do the alcohol ink coasters for Christmas and the ink keeps drying and leaving huge white splotches. Tried 90% alcohol too and that didn't work either. Please help! chefandphotographer at yahoo.com thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteA very good article post indeed and thanks for sharing. It has proven useful to me as I am a construction student currently studying at university. I feel that your post was fluid and describes the topic very well. Regards, Steve
