This blog is a place to share research, experiences and inspirations around teaching and the world of Early Childhood Education —which I believe includes just about anything and everything creative.

Clementine Art

glue_large
Natural Glue.

Ingredients: water, naturally occurring bio-polymers [adhesives], potassium sorbate [a gentle preservative] and citric acid. As always, no chemicals or other additives and no petroleum products”

“Children’s art is glorious, expressive, and sometimes messy business. When young children do art, they touch, spread, mold (and sometimes even taste!) their materials. Clementine provides parents with a natural alternative to standard, chemical art products. Clementine Art uses non-toxic colors from nature and no chemical additives. We use non-toxic plant and mineral pigments in all of our products. In order to achieve a wide range of colors in our palette, some of our minerals are processed with heat.”

5000 Pantone Color Chips

Notes about the project: Basheer Graphic Books “would like to promote Pantone color guide book to art college students and faculty, and to convince them that Pantone has the most color selection for their printing guidance. To grab their attention, we re-create a rainbow consist of Pantone color chips in the middle of college’s park. With 8 meter in length and height of 4,5 meter, more than 5000 different color chips were used to cover the arch. The rainbow creates a spectacle and students realize that Pantone has real life colors. Inquiries for Pantone books in Basheer Graphic Books also significantly increase.”

Schooling for Sustainability

9780970950048
Michael K. Stone and Center for Ecoliteracy.

“Throughout the United States, a movement of educators, parents, and students is remaking K-12 education to prepare students for the future environmental challenges. What would a green school or an eco-schooling curriculum look like? Smart by Nature: Schooling for Sustainability offers firsthand accounts and strategies for greening campuses, rethinking school food, and transforming schools into model sustainable communities.
Green and healthy campuses with rooftop gardens and innovative designs are serving as living laboratories in which educators teach energy conservation, resource management, and earth sciences.

Smart by Nature documents this movement through inspiring success stories from public and independent schools across the country. Practical “what you can do” checklists and pages of resources make this a twenty-first-century guide for our educational future.”
