Last week we studied the earliest cultures of Africa. Using sandpaper, the kids made their own version of rock art.
Landon's:
Kennady's (she doesn't consider it important to center her work)
In Science, we talked about apes and monkeys. One of the apes we spent a little extra time with was the Orangutan. Since orangutans are native to the islands of Indonesia, we decided to make orangutan portraits using an Indonesian fabric technique: batik. We made our batik prints on ordinary paper, with a drawing done in white crayon, then stained with an orange food coloring solution. It was very easy!
The waiting was the hard part!
Finished work:
Can you tell which is an orangutan from Borneo, and which is from Sumatra?

What an awesome idea for Art projects!! So creative.
You have GOT to post more of your ideas for all of us to steal - er I mean use! How awesome! I cant wait to get my printer out! As soon as I do I am printing out this stuff for reference when we study these things. You are one smart cookie!
Sure I can tell wich is from Borneo and which one is from the other place. NOT.
Sandpaper??? Do tell.
I am so copying both of these ideas! =o)
Finding that one thing that will help our children love to read is something only a parent has time for. Thanks for stopping by my blog and sharing your thoughts!
