GOOGLE DRAWINGS- Piet Mondrian

Google Drawing APP

Since a lot of the middle and senior classes no longer have Ipad in their classes, I thought I would encourage some different uses for their chrome books.
Currently they are only used for internet searching and browsing, slideshow presentations, word documents and the odd survey.

Piet Mondrian Art

We looked at a range of art that was created by Piet Mondrian.  We then went into our google drawings and created a new document.
On our blank page we inserted lines and changed the thickness  of them.  Carefully using the line tools we created straight lines, horizontally and vertically within our rectangle.

Once we had done this we then inserted rectangles and squares using the shape tool

Lastly we filled the shapes with colour using the primary colours.

They came up very effective.

SCRATCH- Math shapes

Throughout the year I have been introducing the class to code by using scratch.  I found that a lot of the students really struggled to use scratch if they were told to make something specific.

I wanted to use it in maths and relate this to geometry and shapes.

The task was set to make a square, triangle, pentagon and hexagon.  I gave them the instructions but they had to problem solve to figure which numbers to put in so they could get the right size and angle movement.
