GEOMETRIC SHAPES IN ART HOW TO
Show your child how to pull the string taught while wrapping the nails.Step Five Cut a long length of string and tie it around a nail at the corner of your frame.Step Four Hammer in a nail at each mark.Repeat until you have equally spaced marks along the entire square. Divide each half of the square into three equal sections. Step Three Using your center point mark the center on each side of the square.Step Two If using a frame measure in halfway between the frame edges and opening and draw a square.Determine the center of the frame or plaque by drawing a diagonal line from corner to corner. Hint: Finishing nails do not have a head so you can easily slip off the string after you create different compositions and start again. String or yarn We love this crochet thread- it’s inexpensive and comes in great colors!.Square wood craft frame or unfinished wood plaques (available for $1 at Michaels).
Math Art: String Art Geometry Materials PRINT TEMPLATE HERE This post contains affiliate links to products I love and recommend to my readers. In fact my son enjoyed making the frame more than creating the art! For an even more hands-on approach, have your child or students layout the nail holes and do the nailing themselves. Our post covers G for Geometry, my second favorite math subject in school (believe it or not I LOVED calculus- I know what a nerd…)įor this project you will need to create some simple string art frames using cheap wood craft frames/plaques and nails.
GEOMETRIC SHAPES IN ART SERIES
Today’s post is part of a wonderful series called STEM A-Z curated by Little Bins for Little Hands. The goal of the series is to give parents and educators the information you need to feel comfortable with doing STEM projects at home or in the classroom. In today’s project we’ll be using string art to explore Geometry. A hands-on art project that incorporates mathematical concepts is great way to introduce kids to ideas like geometry and fractions. Today let’s put aside the worksheets and try a fun way to help kids learn math: through art and design. Is it possible to have fun with math? It’s definitely possible when it’s math art…
