Art with Hannah

Hello! Welcome, and I hope you stay awhile! My name is Hannah. I have spent two decades exploring the wonders of art. Whether as a student, in the privacy of my home, or sharing with children and parents--art has always been an important part of me. Recently, an emphasis of my art has dealt with children. In this blog, I'll share my recent projects, classroom instruction, and the work of my students. I hope you will be inspired, and if you are, I hope you visit often. Happy Blogging!

Cloud Study

What is cloud? How are they form? Why are there so many different types?

For children to understand what cloud is, they ought to understand what the water cycle is. (evaporation, condensation, precipitation, collection)

After learning about the facts, they understand what cloud is, and different types of clouds form in different height and temperature.

Here we have a collection of children's art works on cumulus, stratus, cirrus, nimbus, and more clouds.

After trying out all types of clouds using different types of brushes to get the same texture that each cloud type has, we make our own cloud detector!

They have labeled all the clouds they studied and decorated the cloud detector. They will look through the detector to see what type of cloud that is formed in the sky everyday, and they will not look at the sky the same way before!!
