Today is memory and imagination day in our 30 day creative challenge. This one’s great to do with kids!
New Scientific Discovery
Did you hear? Scientists discovered a new __________ . The scientific name for it is __________ . It looks like a __________ , it acts like a __________ , and it lives in __________ .
Fill in the blanks, and draw, collage, or assemblage what this new discovery is.
You can use this free online Latin dictionary to help you come up with scientific names. Or use a list of common Greek and Latin words used in systemic names. You might need to drop letters, like an “s” on the end, or add letters, like e, l, or o in the middle, or an us or um at the end. For example, a search for “hairy” brings up pilosus [pilosa, pilosum] so you could have a gloss–pilosus anthos (a hairy tongued flower). Try combining combining two species: a plant with an animal, or an animal with an insect, or something around your house like a sarco-socki piscis (a fleshy sock fish), to invent something new and surprising.

December 24, 2008 Heard on All Things Considered JOSHUA BROCKMAN Fritz Scholder broke almost every rule there was for an American Indian artist. He combined pop art with abstract expressionism. He shunned the sentimental portrayal of traditional Indians and in so doing helped pave the way for artists who followed. Scholder was only part American …
In the interview below, you’ll also see mention of “Ekphrasis.” In the days where each Thursday painter gave a brief presentation to the class, Skillman inspired us all with her presentation about ekphrastic poetry – a poem based on a work of art.
