Highlights from Basic Engineering Techniques with Kim Brice

It started with an egg and materials found round the home Would their egg survive dropping from a height and land without cracking? There would be some prospective engineers I would climb into any aircraft they built, but some I am afraid I would think twice about, after seeing some splatter lol. Kim 's workshops never ceased to amaze me how all the children were engaged and on task. That is a great skill.  Engineers need to test their design Did the egg land safely ??? Yikes was privileged to host three workshops tutored by Kim Brice. The kids were engaged and learnt valuable skills and were able to enjoy the journey of design and engineering. Kim is a local designer and business owner ~ click here to learn more about Kim and his business.

Crayon and Dye resist drawings Children looked at the "Life Drawing Model" and then drew a triangle, the head was the triangle and the body was a rectangle. When teaching drawing this technique helps give basic form…. Materials : started with pencil , then used crayons to act as resist, then used dye to shade and colour sheep in. Our life drawing model - isn't she sweet? SOME SAMPLES: MAKING PARACHUTE MEN with WOODEN PEGS, STRING AND CAMOUFLAGE MATERIAL  BAKING IS AN ART FORM TOO Food Artist at Work Creating Art is Edible!
