String Art Mandalas: String, Math and Geometry

Outschool Families!  I have had to step away from my classroom for a bit here while I look after some elderly family members!  Hope to be back very soon.  Please add me to your favorites so you are the first to know when new sections are added!  

Hello!  My name is Diane, and I have been teaching art and STEAM classes to children in public schools for more than 20 years, both in-person and via remote learning.

Our learners today get plenty of opportunities to manipulate data.

But what about measuring, cutting, folding, manipulating, and attaching real objects?

Here in my learning lab I’ve created a series of classes that gets kids making things with their hands.  We incorporate math, geometry, physics, and engineering – all in the practical way we approach building and making.

This hand/mind connection gives us greater understanding of how the world around us is put together.

I want all kids to feel confident that they have the skills to make the things they seen in their imagination.

Make something with your hands every day!
