Did you know that critical thinking and problem solving happens in art class?
Students in Mrs. Francis' art class got to practice the art of pendulum painting!
Pendulum paintings are created by attaching a can or bottle of paint to a rope or string and hanging it over a canvas - then, you swing it! As a pendulum swings, it follows an elliptical path. The paint allows children to see the path the pendulum is following, and experiment with how they can alter this.
Students used their critical thinking and problem solving when faced with problems like dripping paint, or how to get the design or pattern they wanted for the outcome.
