Why Recess and Play Promote Learning
Переглядів 682 роки тому
Take a moment to visit the playground during a Portfolio School Recess. You'll see students freely choosing a variety of play styles that help them grow in different dimensions. Students develop motor skills, social cooperation, balance, communication skills and most of all, have fun and reset their brains for deeper learning during the rest of the school day.
A Quick Introduction to Plaster Molds and Moldmaking (for Clay and Ceramics)

This is a brief introduction to get you started making simple one-part plaster molds to reproduce clay or ceramic objects over and over with great precision and convenience. One part molds are good for simpler, less 3d objects that are flat on the back like tiles or shallow relief sculptures. But as you acquire more skills, you can use plaster molds with 2, 3 or even 4 parts to reproduce increa...

Two times a year-in between each of our comprehensive project-based units-students pursue independent (or “passion”) projects for a period of three weeks. The goal of these 3 weeks is for each child, from Kindergarten to middle school, to practice the skills of conceiving an idea and working towards implementing it.

Intrinsic motivation is what it all boils down to for us. Portfolio students understand the "why" behind their learning. They connect school to their own purpose, and this is why they are so eager to learn. Listen to co-founder Doug explain why this matters and how this connects to what he-as a parent-wants for his own children. #thisisschool #whatschoolcouldbe #projectbasedlearning #handsonlea...

    Darn, I was hoping you would tell me what kinds of clay I can use to start with as the piece to carve. Could you please provide that info? I’ve been searching. I read articles and discover they are not creating PLASTER molds, which is my desire. I’m disabled but have a passion for making “tools.” I recently discovered that people like to have stamps to use to decorate their ceramic creations. I’m exploring the idea of being able to create stamps and reproduce them. It would be easier if I had easy access to a kiln, but I don’t.

    For the flat sheets, what would happen if I bonded all the sheets...THEN cut them with woodcutting tools? Would the sheets delaminate or catch on the saw? For that, I would probably use a different adhesive so that the adhered surfaces would be uniform in texture and thickness.

    Really good sense. Adding a layer of packaging paper with a good paste (cellulose plus PVA) improves the appearance and adds greater strength. A presentation suggestion - an occasional smile would enhance the delivery! Remember, it’s FUN.

    Will polymer clay bond to wood if I mold the clay onto it? What I'm making would require the clay to be on both sides of the wood, but not wrapped around totally encasing the wood. Much of the wood gets left exposed for the finished product. I'm trying to find something that would harden better then what I'm currently using now. That being, wood putty. I stated thinking, "isn't there a clay product that would work better for what I'm doing?" So there you have it, my search is on lol. I've never worked with clay but thought it could be the answer. Just unsure of what kind? I also need to be able to sand and paint after it's fully hardened. If you have any thoughts or suggestions I'd love to hear them. Thanks

      @silverfoot6079 Рік тому

      I'm no expert or anything, but you can mix clay with some pva glue to make them tougher. Also, sealing the wood before attaching the clay will help it adhere as wood is very porous, you can also coat the wood with the pva glue to cover the pores.

    that is not durable you are gluing just surfaces that after a while will delaminate, also you are using thermic glue that other than being not environmental friendly is harder than the cardboard and rigid so you are having and harder body pulling - stretching a soft cardboard surface...

    Basically that´s what IKEA does with most of it´s furniture just on an industrial level. This example is pretty good. You can coat the whole thing with shellac at the end and make it really strong and sturdy and also sand and paint it, so you can even make real furniture out of it and nobody would be able to tell it is not just painted cardboard.

      That is 70% sure mate. I am a cardboard designer and work with different cardboard thickness you have a wide range to choose from called b 3mm , e 1.5mm , EB flute 4.5mm thick. Boxboard from around 0.8mm to like 0.38mm and below that is like paper and many more. To each material you work to thickness. Basicly it is very interesting what you can get out of cardboard engineering is using mainly in a temporary display for a promotion product but also in the shop front window display could be high end or just standard retail. Furniture will not last long in every day usage all the pends of finishing off. Trust me. So IKEA is using card based designs but a bit more engineered and so it last for long and prepared for mass production more likely cheaper than anything else. whatever.

      @@donmjurczelllo6428 Yes I know. They use it as cheap material and coat it with foils so it does not absorb too much moisture. It also does not have to hold much or long. And you rarely use a shelf really, most of the time it just sits there. Cardboard is awesome stuff. I am an automotive design engineer so we work with plastic and sheet metal mostly, obviously for completely different applications, safety is relevant, flammability and so on. But none the less cardboard is awesome.
