Anaglyphs Across the Curriculum

Astronomy and Space Exploration

Online 3D• Neave Anaglyph• 3D Squiggles

Students created visual images using the site http://www.nga.gov/kids/zone/zone.htm

Students created images using Photo Op interactive and the Jungle interactive.

These images were used for writing activities by the students.

If Happiness was a color,It would be orangeAs warm as a summer day.If Happiness was a tasteIt would be just like a caramel sundae.If Happiness was a feelingIt would be as wet as a puppy's kiss.If Happiness was a smellIt would be sweet as a baking cookie.If Happiness was a sound,It would be light as a child's laugh.

• Photo Op is an interactive activity that introduces you to digital photography and digital photo editing.

• You will use the virtual camera to take snapshots. This interactive allows you to explore lighting, focus, shutter speed, and compositional effects.

• After you've taken some photos, switch to the Photo Op editor and transform your pictures into something completely different.

• Using the jungle interactive allows students to create a scene using vivid colors, plants, and animals.

• These scenes could be used for writing assignments.

5 Cool Ideas for How to Use SketchUp in Your Classroom From Google

1.Build a 3D model of your school. 2.Use SketchUp to visualize the geometry concepts you are teaching. 3.Create a 3D model of the California Missions and then incorporate those models into Google Earth. 4.Have students build a model of their houses.5.When studying architecture of the past, create a 3D model of an ancient pyramid.

Technology Can Transform ArtTechnology can impact just about every facet of making and understanding art. It can provide artists with a rich source of reference material. It allows them access to a virtual canvas where they can both recreate old techniques and discover new artistic possibilities. Once the art is created, technology makes it much easier to use, share, and store the artwork and its related materials.
