Comments Off on Sculpture – post-minimalism cacti

Sadie’s found a bunch of little Sadies! If you think that’s a little bit funny, then you’ll understand the difference between minimalism and post-minimalism. Very basic shapes using basic materials (minimalism) done in a way that is a little bit funny. And sometimes making a lot of them – sometimes identical and sometimes not quite. In this case, there are 19 cacti, but none of them is exactly the same. It’s similar to the piece Repetition 19 by the artist […]

Comments Off on Sculpture – Egypt Ushabti

Looks like Max made it to the museum as well! Who doesn’t like learning about Ancient Egypt?! These sculptures by the Ancient Egyptians are called Ushabti. They were buried (sometimes hundreds of them – and sometimes they were small and sometimes they were big) with the dead and expected to servants to them in whatever came next. The hieroglyphics on their legs was their contract saying they were willing to work! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the […]

Comments Off on Sculpture – Yam Masks

One of the great things about museums is we can learn about other countries and cultures. We usually think of masks as something that people wear when we are pretending to be someone or something else. In Papua New Guinea, Yam masks (also called Babamini) are made every year to decorate yams to look like people at the Yam Harvest Festival! Some of the yams are 12 feet long – that’s bigger than 2 people! Click on the image below, or […]

Comments Off on Museum – sculpture, Oval with Points

I’m not sure how Sophie and Sadie got to the sculpture without walking on the grass – I also don’t know how they managed to climb it! Oval with Points, which this sculpture looks like, was done by the artist Henry Moore. It’s pretty big as you can see – and made of bronze. He wanted his art to be outside for people to enjoy (although probably not climb on!) instead of in museums. Can you see where the points […]

Comments Off on Tickets at the museum

There are so many kinds of tickets! Tickets to get on the bus, raffle tickets, movie tickets, traffic tickets, lottery tickets, parking tickets, theater tickets, and tickets to get into a museum, just to name a few! Sometimes you have to pay for the tickets and sometimes you don’t. These have a tear off part at the top so the museum can keep a part to know how many people saw the exhibit and Sophie and Sadie can keep the […]

Comments Off on Turnstiles at the museum

Sophie and Sadie are visiting a museum. All museums want to know how many people visit – some have people with number clickers at the entrance and others use turnstiles like these. You’ll find all different types of turnstiles in all different places – but they were originally invented for farmers who needed a way that they could leave the pasture and their animals couldn’t follow them (and couldn’t go off on adventures of their own!).

Comments Off on kayaking

I just learned to kayak this week and now Sophie’s giving it a try. It’s hard work! But it’s nice and quiet and calm – and that’s just why the native people near the arctic circle invented kayaks about 4,000 years ago. Being so quiet made hunting easier! Now people mostly kayak for fun. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

I always thought a desert island was what all of the pictures of tropical paradise islands with sand and palm trees. Turns out I was wrong! Desert islands are deserted islands, meaning no one lives on them. They sure do look restful.

It’s so fun to see Sadie’s photos of her trip to Arizona! It’s funny that the fruit of a Prickly Pear is more often called a ‘fig’ than a ‘pear’ and in Spanish it’s called Tuna! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!
