Bees, Please

HIVE MINDED: Tuesday afternoon we headed to Queen Anne to complete our monthly "art installation." (It's a bulletin board with students' birthdays on them.)

Inspired by our thriving hive at home, we went with a bee theme. Annabelle used her Cricut machine to cut out dozens of hexagons, some of which had the names and dates written on them. We used a variety of decorative paper, either honey-toned or hexagon themed, or both. Annabelle also made a dozen cute little bees.

It took awhile to put up, because each hexagon had to be contemplated. Heaven forbid we put a bunch of the same colored hexagons right next to each other!

It's always fun installing the board, though. Kids (and many adults) coming by are excited to see what the new theme is each month. (By the way, I purposely blurred out names in the photo above.)

A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE: Annabelle shared this video with me today, so I'm going to share it with you.

The 8-or-so minute lesson is about how perspective distortion works. It's interesting, and a lot to think about. I might have to watch it again to try to more fully 'get' it.
