Lesson 6: Carving an iris
Children can see the iris, ocellus and other parts of their bodies in a mirror. This will help them to understand how they feel and look. They can also draw their own eyes using observational drawing and the mirror. They can find white or other colours in the iris, and black in the center. After they have finished the drawing, they can add colour using different media and try to create the illusion of depth. Children can compare their eye drawings and see how they differ in color.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. We use a digital ruler (a tool to measure distances), laser level (used for leveling your work surface), and bubble level (used for levelling your work surface).
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits red dots on the line. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
