Art Theme: Science

As usual, I was blown away by all the fun ideas people came up with for the theme Science. Some people made art to show science and other people used science to create art. All acceptable. And cool.

Let's jump right in. It is easier for me to put our family's art first because they are all in a folder in order, so just get used to seeing our stuff first. It doesn't mean ours is better, because I often find my favorite piece outside of our art. (This week my two favorites were from other families.)

First up, my Mom's. She used black and white clip art and colored it in. So much going on and such fun to look at.

Tyler was going to take a picture of the stars moving,  but the camera shutter wouldn't stay open longer than 30 seconds. So you get a cool picture of the big dipper.

I used science for my next piece. I boiled red cabbage and soaked my paper in the purple liquid. It turned it into ph testing paper. Then I tried different liquids to see what color reaction they would have.

After checking colors, I used several solutions to paint my art. I loved how it turned out.

Ivory and June also tried an experiment to create art. Using cold liquid poured over ice, it was supposed to build towers. It didn't work quite like they wanted, but still a cool (literally) result.

The Francis' came up with some great stuff this week. Do you recognize anyone?

This is my favorite. I love all the details about the planets put into people. Great job Addison!

Rebecca did a fun depiction of an actual sketch you would find in a scientist's notebook. Clever and beautiful.

Tricia and her kids used a lot of science to create their art. From ice and salt to diffused colors to homemade lava lamps and leaf rubbings, I love it all.

The Hulse's did one better. They went and spent the week in Yellowstone and enjoyed all the science mother nature has to offer. They took a week off making art, but probably had a more relaxing week than the rest of us. We missed seeing their creativity, but there is always next week.

In fact, next week is Jonny's theme. It is a doozy. He chose Dante's Inferno. I really have no clue what I'm going to do, let alone what might be submitted. Should be interesting.
