Snow Globe Cities

25 Apr

Finally finishing our snow globe project. It got forgotten while I worried about lesser things like spelling and science 🧬😬I can’t even handle how awesome this project is turning out to be. #homeschoolrocks #artclass #watercolor

inspired by @cassie_stephenz

I do not know how she gets so many projects done with so many kids. I guess that bell forces them to finish.

I love the dimension Cherry Pie created with the dark edge
I love the energy and movement Peach Pie created with her sky painting technique
Key Lime Pie was the first to put snow flakes in the air, and the only one to include a human.
Banana Cream Pie included the Eiffel Tower like her big sister, Peach Pie
Apple Pie’s buildings are full of mice!

The next day…

Lacking glitter for the snow, I was going to use sugar. The girls voted to use salt. So that’s what we did. Something odd happened. The salt pulled water out of our paintings. Perhaps the water came from the Elmer’s glue?

My friend who is a NASA scientist suggested:

It could be deliquescence–the salt pulling sufficient moisture from the air to create a brine solution. (One of my friends is studying the process on Mars.) https://www.britannica.com/science/deliquescence

So we got to learn about that, too.
