The students in wood shop at the Clear Spring School often have things in mind that can't be easily explained. For instance Sid's Motor Tank has been in the works for weeks as he's explored various ways to add more and more pieces of wood, in defiance of gravity. As you can see, more and more tape has been needed to hold pieces together. I asked how he would improve it if he was to make another. He said, "I'd make it metal." And so we can see prototyping in action. We also witness art in action, as the process of creating art transcends boundaries even when masking tape is necessary to do so. With the motor tank complete Sid began attaching wings, proposing another attribute of the arts. It's that one thing leads to another.
In cross posting from my blog to facebook, only one image makes the transition so visiting the blog directly will show you more. If you are one of those hoping to transition away from facebook and still keep up with happenings on the Wisdom of the Hands blog, you can do so here: http://wisdomofhands.blogspot.com
Make, fix and create. Assist others in learning likewise.
