Educational crafts from home! Have fun creating an agamograph and learn about Optical Art!

Hello friends of @steemiteducation, the education of our children is extremely important for us as parents and educators, that's why we always have to look for the best teaching and learning tools and strategies to impart the best possible education.

   
I am a lover of crafts and I would like to present a series of educational strategies based on them, any child is interested in working with their hands, coloring, pasting, cutting, drawing, in short, having fun and what better way to do it than making crafts.
 

 
The agamograph is a type of optical art that owes its name and popularity to the Israeli artist Yaacob Agam. The agamographs are formed by hidden images that appear depending on the position in which the observer is, hence they are so fascinating.
   

Materials:

 
  • Two folios
 
  • Glue.
 
  • Scissors.
 
  • Drawing material: colored pencils, wax, markers ...
   

 

Process:

 
  • The first thing is to fold a zigzag folio, like an accordion. To find the appropriate measure of the zigzag you can do calculations and use a rule, or follow the method (simpler and faster) that appears in the video:
   
             

  • Fold the other folio in half and cut it so that you get two sheets.
 
  • Put your imagination to work creating a different design with vertical orientation in each page.
 

 

   

         

 
  • Fold the two pages in accordion and then, following the folds, use the scissors to turn them into strips.
 

 
  • On the blank folio that you had zigzag previously folded, stick the strips alternating each design.

 
Be careful with order!
       

 
  • Check the functioning of your agamograph by observing from different angles, is not it impressive?

   
 

 
  • Experiment with different sizes of paper, for example joining two sheets with adhesive tape you can make a super agamograph very easily.
   
Crafts will always be a very useful tool to educate our children, through them, we can also transmit information, knowledge, activities, activities, attention and concentration, memorization, psychomotor. and the additional increases. self esteem There are many children's activities to do at home thanks to what you can have a good time with the children of the house, help in their physical and mental development, make them have fun and improve communication between the family. Even making an everyday activity an educational resource!
 
So, we also have a little time in our children and click on educational crafts that will bring many benefits besides strengthening family ties.
 
Thanks for visiting my blog and I wait for you in my next publication.
