Sea Saw

I've found this interesting game on the National Gallery of Art website. You may try it at home!!!!

 

   To create art with SEA-SAWS, select photographs of natural and man-made objects, then arrange the pieces to create a seascape or an abstract composition. The BUILD tool helps you construct animated characters and set them in motion. ADD them to your scene as still objects, movers, rockers, or rollers. Hit the green PLAY button to set the scene in motion. (Shockwave 7.5 MB)

   Move your mouse over the blue field to lied the drawing tool where you want it to draw. Experiment with how you move your mouse to get different effects. If you want to clear your drawing and start over, click on the lead "+" symbol

GO FOR IT!!!

Practice the different Art Movements.

Using this application you will be able to experience to paint like an artist.

PSYKOPAINT

Kaleidoscope.

Create your own Kaleidoscope using this application:

KALEIDOSCOPE

What is a Kaleidoscope? 

     It is a cylinder with mirrors containing loose, colored objects such pebbles and bits of glass. As the viewer looks into one end, light entering the other creates a colorful pattern, due to the reflection off of the mirrors. (Wikipedia)

Do you know about Symmetry?

Do you know about Symmetry? it's a game to test you on Symmetry.

GOOD LUCK!!!

Colours Game

Well,  you have learnt and practised the Colour Theory, now it's time for a little test....

COLOURS GAME

GOOD LUCK!!

Colour colour.

Another of the Tate Kids games is called 

Colour colour

You can choose from a variety of paintings and colour them the way you want. 

It is really easy!!!

Original. The Cholmondeley ladies.

Good luck!!

Missing shapes. Optical Illusion.

Missing shapes, phantom shapes or Illusory contours.

These are diferent names for the same optical illusion.  

How many triangles do you see in this picture?

     Phantom shapes are a form of optical illusion where countours are percieved without colour change across the contour. That means that we see a shape that really does not exist.

     These are two simple missing shape optical illusions shown in black and white. The existence of a white triangle can easily be imagined in the top image while your brain can also easily create the existence of a white sphere in the lower image.

Try to find the Star!!!

Ten Great Uses for a Pencil from Betsy Streeter

SHAPE III. Polygons

Polygons_________________________________________

1. Triangle: It is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The three angles always add 180º.

• Equilateral Triangle: Three equal sides and three equal angles, always 60º.
• Isosceles Triangle: Two equal sides and two equal angles.
• Scalene Triangle: No equal sides and no equal angles.

2. Quadrilateral. Quadrilateral just means “four sides”. Therefore, any four sided shape is a quadrilateral, but the sides have to be straight, and it has to be 2 dimensional.

• Square: Four equal sides. Four equal angles, always 90°.
• Rectangle: Opposite sides are parallel and of equal length. Four equal angles, always 90°.
• Rhombus: Four equal sides. Opposite angles are parallel.

3. Regular polygons with more than 4 sides:

• A pentagon is a 5-sided polygon.
• An hexagon is a 6-sided polygon.
• An heptagon is a 7-sided polygon.
• An octagon is a 8-sided polygon.

 4. Star:  a plane figure with 5 or more points.

Exercises_________________________________________________________________

After reading the post and watching the video play the Geometric Game to test your knowledge on polygons.

Line. Geometric Layouts.

GEOMETRY

Questions:
•    What is geometry? is a branch of mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.
•    Is geometry Art or Math? Both
•    What do we use geometry for? To draw and create shapes, objects, etc.

Tools:
Ruler, set of squares, compass and technical pens.

Geometric Layouts____________________________________________

• Parallel lines: Two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch at a point are called parallel lines. Line m has everywhere the same distance to line.
• Perpendicular lines: The segment AB is perpendicular to the segment CD because the two angles it creates (indicated in orange and blue) are each 90 degrees. If a line is perpendicular to another as shown, all of the angles created by their intersection are called right angles.
• Angle bisector: An angle bisector divides the angle into two angles with equal measures. An angle only has one bisector. Each point of an angle bisector is equidistant from the sides of the angle.
• Bisection: is the division of something into two equal parts by a line, which is then called a bisector.
