This is the same lattice, computer-drawn, with (garish) coloring: I was always fascinated to see how moving a hole would drastically alter the shapes of the component loops. Certainly, you couldn’t design these things by starting with the loop shapes. How could you get them packed in pro...
The creative drawings concept is simple: Trace your child's hand on a paper. Color in the shape. In class you can do this activity in partners. One child traces the other child's hand. Here are some drawing ideas: Take a moment and make this activity educational by teaching your child ...
Trace the rabbit template onto a piece of card stock. Fold the paper in half to make a card and cut out the shape of the rabbit. Glue a cotton ball on the rabbit for a tale and cut oval shapes from the pink felt that are slightly smaller than the ears to use as the inside of t...
It doesn't matter if you like to copy directly onto paper or whether you like to trace, either way, you are learning and improving your skills. It's a good idea to look at your car drawing the next day to pick up any errors that you don't notice while you're involved in the cre...
their squared-off strokes can be distinguished from the finer and more delicate strokes of a quill pen. Van Gogh often used both. Sometimes he began with a pencil sketch and drew with pens over it. He did not trace the pencil lines; they were more of a road map. He did not erase th...
Considering the chaotic frenzy you’re looking at, and the clockwork rigidity of the underlying motions, it’s bizarre how the swarm acts with a kind of coordination to trace out some very specific shape. Unlike much of the emergent complexity you find elsewhere in nature, though, this is so...
The goal is to cross the enemy snake as many times as possible. You take turns extending your snake via vertical, horizontal, or diagonal lines. Your snake can never cross or touch itself, and cannot trace over a segment that has already been drawn (by you, your opponent, or the border...
But mathematicalwritingis like a stone monument from a lost civilization. Opaque. Mystifying. Mathematical texts loom like obelisks in the desert, their meanings hard to trace, their origins almost impossible to imagine. I propose a solution:the quotation. ...
