Gone with the Wind Socks
Kirker, Sara
SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, v105 n5 p38-39 Jan 2006
Art teachers face the dilemma of transforming their artrooms into visually stimulating learning environments for their students every day. Incorporating the elements of art in the design of the room will help students gain new insights into their meaning while capturing their attention. In this article, the authors relate how they added visual excitement to their artroom by introducing the elements of art in the form of windsocks suspended from the ceiling. Windsocks are truncated cloth cones mounted on masts, used to show the direction the wind is blowing. Centuries ago, windsocks were invented by the Japanese, who historically flew them on Boy's Day to celebrate a family's offspring. Instructions making windsocks are also provided in this article.
