Lesson 6 - Carving an Iris
For this lesson, children can look at the iris and ocellus in a mirror to see how they appear and feel. They can also use observational drawing and a mirror to draw their own eyes. They can search for white, or other shades of the same colour, in the iris. The black is in the middle. After they've finished drawing, they can add color using different media to create depth illusions. Children can then look at each other's drawings of eyes and compare how they differ in colour.

How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
