Pendulum painting is another of those activities like fly swatter painting and the balloon cage that we have been doing at Woodland Park since my first year as a teacher. I build two of these rigs from PVC pipe . . . Look, you can still see the splatter marks on the wall from our recent fly swatter painting sessions! . . . string, a few links from our plastic chain set, and a plastic cup with a hole poked in the bottom. I've learned that every gallon of tempera paint has a slightly different consistency, but you normally need to dilute it with water so it flows properly. The jug we were working off this week needed to be about 2 parts paint to 1 part water. Of course, it also makes a difference how big you make the hole in your cup. I used a Phillips head screw driver to do the job. As the kids approach the table, the art parent puts her finger over the hole to prevent the paint from spilling out prematurely, fills the cup about half way with the thinned paint, and hands it over to the child saying something like, "Give it a swing." The results tend to be frame worthy: I've tried making the paint even thinner, but if it's too thin, the paintings dry "fuzzy" as the excess water tends to absorb into the paper as it separates from the paint a bit. Of course, thinner paint does nothing to reduce the child's experience, but this is one of those few art projects where Woodland Park parents say they really want to take one home to hang on their walls, so I go with thicker paint in the hope of creating a few of these keepsakes. Also, I usually pre-tear dozens of sheets of butcher paper to have stacked under the pendulum so that all the adult has to do is whip one away to reveal a blank canvas for the next artist. Not only does this help give kids their turn without a lot of waiting, but it also helps keep the table from becoming a big pool of black paint while you're changing out the paper. Between the Pre-3 and 3-5 classes, we made at least 100 of these artworks over the course of the past two days forcing us to be very creative in finding enough flat surfaces to dry them (for obvious reasons they can't be hung to dry). We went through an entire gallon of black paint and had to resort to blue by the end of the day yesterday. By this stage, the only painters left were a clutch of hard core scientists who were being quite intentional in their efforts. I wanted to share a few of these because you can see more complexity and evidence of different swinging techniques being employed. I even heard Anjali say, "I'm trying to make a butterfly." I think this is the butterfly. Annabelle achieved this by, in part, holding onto the string and swinging the cup in a kind of chaotic manner. Not all of them turned out looking like something from an art gallery . . . . . . but that was hardly the point of this lesson in physics.
What better way to catch a Pikachu, but with a functional Pokeball! The origin of this Pokeball amigurumi pattern began when one day my friend, Tina, asked me regarding another crochet Pokeball I had made, “Does it open?” And that one, at the time, did not. BUT… that question got the gears rolling in my head, and I thought to myself, “Wouldn’t it be crazy if I did make a Pokeball that opened and closed and could capture whatever Pokemon was out there to be found?!” And thus was born, the amigurumi Pokeball Pod, quite the magical form. It’s a tool that every Pokemon trainer must carry, and also functions as quite a lovely and comfy home for your Pokemon. I only know how to create the crochet Pokeball, but alas, the actual mechanics of how a Pokeball works is beyond me! Here is a collection of all the Pokemon projects I’ve made so far. As you can see, the crochet Pokeball can house quite a few different Pokemon amigurumi critters! So anyways, let’s get to the pattern so you can continue to collect and train your Pokemon! Please enjoy and do let me know how your crochet and Pokemon …
