Impressionist Art -- March 21 project for kids


Here is a concept that we are going to try on March 21 at our school tour. Georges Seurat was a French neo-impressionist painter. Several folks have been suggesting kids hand prints be used in some way in the school. Amy Desrosier offered this vision, a Palouse-scape.

Think about the math skills potential of this activity done in the context of an expedition. Transferring the picture from original to glass could involve Cartesian coordinates and graphing.

Some version of this idea will be attempted March 21 at the Shebang event.
