December 19, 2011 You need: • Clean paper / Pencil • Snowman (2nd, 4th, 5th) Warm Up: What colors do you associate with the winter holiday? Why?
One particularly cool site… http://www.echalk.co.uk/amusements/OpticalIllusions/illusions.htm
Reasons the brain gets “confused”… • Color centers in the brain (red vs. green) • Residual image…the picture you see stays on the retina (movie screen of your eye) for a split-second • Busy vs. quantity…Should I look here because there is some activity or over there because there is so much of a color?
Directions: • Choose ONE color to be your background…red OR green. • The other color will become the foreground. • Tear/cut the foreground color into bits. • Fit these bits into your design leaving some of the background showing. Remember that glue can be smeared on very, very, very , very, very lightly!
Holiday Dinner – who sits where? • Mom and Dad always set the baby between them. Mom is on the baby’s right. • Grandma and Grandpa are each sitting at one end of the table. There is one cousin next to the aunt. • The twins always sit together, and two cousins are across from each other. Also, the twins are between two cousins. • The uncle is across from his wife and next to his mom. • Grandpa has at least one cousin next to him because they carve the turkey together. • The aunt always sits to the right of Grandma. • The baby and a twin are in the exact center of the table, across from each other.
