Fun things with the kids
50 Things You and the Kids Should Do Before New Year’s Eve
http://www.blogger.com/goog_846444056
12-28-2011
A compilation of 50 ideas and inspirations to help teachers or parents do fun things with the kids:
* Cut mittens out of doilies and string them up with yarn
* Grab glitter and printer paper for homemade snow flakes;
* Slide photos or drawings inside empty snow globes;
* Fill old tights with cotton, grab googly eyes and felt and you’ve got a silly door sweep.
Etc...
I like the snow flakes idea! Try it with kids at home and they all like the magic of having one cut yet multiple pattern. To them, it is just like magic show!

Paper art: creating optical illusion experience 2
The optical illusion experience for this work is to make you think that the balls can roll automatically upward:
"日本：球往高处走 眼见不为实" is the orginal title.
The narration is in Mandarin, yet if you just view it from beginning to end, you will understand how your eyes can be fooled by paper craft!
You may like to amuse others by making the model used in the above video!
The orginal designer is a Japanese Mathematician and he demonstrated it in video in 2010!
I think it is a great teaching tool!
Cheers!

Paper Crafts from Yamaha
Make your own paper models of motorcycles, rare animals and more from Yamaha at
http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/
"Easy-to-follow video clips explain everything from basic Paper Craft techniques and how to make major parts of the Realistic Paper Crafts, right up to the final assembly. Full of useful tips for efficient construction and superb finish! Watch it, and you'll want to make a Realistic Paper Craft yourself!"
Read the FAQ from the web page to clear some of the common doubt at http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/faq/:
Q-02: What kind of paper is the best to print out the data on?
Q-03: How much does it cost to download the paper craft data?
Q-04: The paper craft data cannot be displayed.
Q-05: How do I store PDF files?
Q-06: I don't have a printer. Will you send me the printout of the data?
Q-07: Is it OK to save the paper craft data on a CD-ROM and distribute it with a magazine?
Q-08: Is it OK to use the paper craft for non-profit events, such as exhibitions and PC instructions?
Q-09: Is it possible to use the paper craft for sales promotional purposes for printers, paper, etc.?
Q-10: Can I introduce the paper craft in mass media, like magazines and TV?
Q-11: How do I do to make tires of realistic paper crafts well?
=====
Designer: Nobutaka Mukouyama
http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/designer/
=====
Born in Tokyo. Graduated from the Design Department, Art School at Hachioji Engineering Institute in 1997.
He was a member of the Idea Bureau Co., Ltd., then became a freelance paper craft designer.
Taking the opportunity to be in charge of planning and production of "VMAX," the first phase of realistic paper crafts at the 1997 Tokyo Motor Show's special site, he took charge of planning and production of all paper craft series published on the Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. website, including "THE SEASONS," "Rare Animals of Japan," "Rare Animals of the World" and "Realistic Paper Craft".
Message from the designer:
It takes considerable time and technique to complete assembly of a paper craft, but that effort includes the joy of completion.
In addition to enjoying the charm of paper, please make the surprise and discovery from flat to solid as joyously as possible, a transformation from the world of "watching" in two dimensions to "touching" in three.
=====
Designer's Website: Nobutaka Mukouyama Space at http://www.mukouyamaku-kan.com/

Personally I like the pop-up card at http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global/entertainment/papercraft/popupcard/
If you try a few with kids and show them how to do it, you will understand paper pop-up and paper engineering with some personal touch!
With that, I with you a happy boxing day!

Paper art: creating optical illusion experience 1
There are a lot of video on youtube that illustrated the magic of optical illusions.
I view them with interest and thought of transferring the ideas to paper art work in school to create optical illusion experience.
I think students will learn a lot from crafting the object and learn something interesting along the way!
You may like to amuse others by making the model used in the above video!

Princeton Online: Incredible Art Department
Since 1994 - the oldest art education site on the net!
So much to see on this site!
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/index.html
"Welcome to The Incredible Art Department. This site began in late 1994 as a showcase for my elementary art students in a school in Indianapolis, Indiana. This site was the second educational website in Indiana. The first was a 5th grade classroom in Brookview Elementary. My district was not ready for this exposure so they told me to remove the site. Instead of completely folding it, I decided to open it up to the world. The response was phenomenal. I received 8,555 visitors the first year. Now the site receives millions of visitors each year."
Personally, I like "The Art Teacher Toolbox" at http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/links/toolbox.html "It is a resource for homeschoolers and new teachers. You can read about art curriculum and instruction, discipline strategies, special education, NCLB, best practices, school law, view contests, and create rubrics."
The problem in find good art and craft sources from this site is to differetial advertisements from the good information sources. The advertisement is shown first and is blocking your navigation path and move you away from your orginal search.
Nevertheless, if you are patient enough, you may find good sites like "Art for small hands" at http://www.artforsmallhands.com/ for teaching pre-schoolers.
I like the "Collection of Student Art Galleries" at http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/links/kid_galleries.html it open the door to students' art and craft work from all over the world!
If you are interested to trace the history of the site and look at the pages in 1994 to 2011, you may click the links near the bottom of this page "IAD Website Designs through the years" at http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/history/history.html
I like looking at old pages as they illustrate the changes in the history of Internet with "look and feel", For example, the 1994-46 webpage, was made for the Netscape browser which was "cool" at that time as it replaced text based browsers! Well, Web browers do have history that younger generation are not aware of. It is a good site for me who is a "Library Trainer" to use it in my training and show the evolution of information studies in "retrospective mode"!
Cheers!

Creative paper cutting and paper art
"一張平凡無奇的紙，到了紙雕藝術家洪新富的手裡，可以切割摺出各式各樣的形狀，包括萬物的不同體態；無論是大家熟悉的十二生肖，或是台灣特有的保育動物，都是洪新富創作的靈感來源。
透過切割與摺疊，他不只把紙張變立體，而且不用黏貼，而是用卡接的方式做，其中很多還會動，讓紙雕作品更生動更具有童玩趣味。洪新富的作品大如台灣黑熊，小如一隻蚊子，蚊子在他的細心雕琢下，放在手臂上栩栩如生，讓人真的很想打。
四歲就會摺紙鶴的洪新富，從小展現摺紙的才華，數不清的作品，讓小小的紙藝工作室，顯的更加狹小。但是他對玩紙的企圖心很大，因為紙張它是平面，那我們是把平面，去模擬立體的效果，所以在做過程中折線跟壓縮，它常常會是構成立體很重要的要件。
洪新富的紙藝，除了完全不用黏貼之外，他特別強調要先用心觀察生態，作品才能夠生動感人。洪新富選了一條寂寞的紙雕路，多年耐心推動紙藝教學和創意商品的表現，不但被文建會專書推薦為從傳統出發的文化創意產業楷模，更獲得十大傑出青年的肯定。早已開創個人與台灣的紙藝傳奇，但是接下來他的紙雕世界還有源源不絕的創意。
《文人政事》透過對紙雕藝術家黃新富的專訪，讓平凡的紙創造新的驚奇"
