Art and Science

  Pink Stripey Socks has 40 ideas to combine STEM and art, beginning with DIY art materials, such as home-made water colors and sidewalk chalk paint.  Start with Pink Stripey’s links and compare recipes with other sites, such as Martha Stewart’s Watercolor Paint.  Experiment with the proportions of corn syrup and corn starch. Use the home-made paint with crayons to make these notebooks for little presents.  Sit down with your kids and plan which art supplies they want to make. Chalk?   Finger paint?  Scratch art?  Here are more DIY art material recipes.  How do they plan to assess the quality of the art supply?  What do they want to make?  Could the art product be a Christmas gift or wrapping paper?  Hey!  Anything worth doing is worth over-doing!  Don’t forget to document the entire project for your home-school portfolio.  I know we will!
