Kids Crafts: Clothes Pins Mermaids Welcome back to this week’s Kids Crafts – when we made clothes pins mermaids! Clothes pins mermaids have been “yet another” craft that have been on my mind/ to do list for AGES! I was waiting for my kids to be big enough to actually have a go and make some themselves. And as our clothes pins pirates showed it is very clear quite how much Red Ted LOVES colouring clothes pins. Red Ted was hooked. I then decide to make on for our Craft Book. Materials: clothes pins, pens/ paint, funky foam, glue and glitter. Red Ted’s: Painted his Mermens’ bodies in his chosen colours. I then cut out a semi circle out of funky foam, shaped it into a fin and we glued it in place. My mermaid: I painted the fin in a blue – the same colour as the fin. Done. Pip Squeak did have a go. Join the Kids Get Crafty linky party! This linky list is now closed. If you have been crafty with your kid’s be it at home, in the kitchen or outdoors, please link up! Did you like this?

Unusual Long Exposure Firework Photographs by David Johnson While attending the International Fireworks Show in Ottawa, Canada earlier this month photographer David Johnson had his camera in hand to document the night. When Spain’s entry into the competition begin he decided to try something a little different resulting in the photos you see here which are unlike any long exposure firework shots I’ve ever seen. Via email David tells me how he accomplished the effect: The technique I used was a simple refocus during the long exposure. Each shot was about a second long, sometimes two. What’s interesting is that unlike usual firework photos that seem to make long trails across the sky, Johnson’s photos look like flowers with little triangular plumes coming to a point. 10 most Influential Active Street Photographers Update After quite a few suggestions from you, the StreetHunters.net Readers, we added an extra section at the bottom of the post called “Influential Active Street Photographers recommended by our Readers”.

Why drawing needs to be a curriculum essential | Culture professionals network | Guardian Professional Drawing has seen something of a renaissance in the last twenty years in the UK. From the Campaign for Drawing to the Drawing Research Network, from the Drawing Room to the Rabley Drawing Centre, we've witnessed a proliferation of passion, effort and energy matched by increased museum exhibitions, dedicated degree courses, professors, publications and conferences. All of the above have been established in pursuit of understanding, developing and promoting drawing, and many inside and outside the sector endure to evidence drawing as both the most sophisticated means of thinking and communicating, and an activity for all. In the 1990s dedicated resources for drawing were much thinner on the ground. At Gloucestershire College of Art (now University) my team taught a structured programme that started with an intensive drawing course as the introduction to the underpinning systems and principles of visual language and painting in particular.

Teaching 2 and 3 Year Olds: Spin Painted Apples! Spin art using a salad spinner is hands down one of the most favorite activities with 2 and 3 year olds.

This means when you click on a link and make a purchase, this blog earns a small portion of that sale at no extra cost to you. Thank you for your support! Once again, these handy squirt bottles are perfect. Paper was cut into apple shapes and placed in the spinner. The top was placed on the spinner and the fun began! Our 3 spinners each have different tops. When finished, pull off the top and see the results. We finally ran out of paper and it was time to clean up, but I think they could have done this for hours! Our apple tree is quite fruitful! This idea was featured at: This idea was shared at: Available from Amazon: <a HREF=" This post contains affiliate links. 230 Flares3631910×230 Flares
