  • Travel Postcard
    Travel Postcard Unit: Full Steam Ahead: Robert Fulton & the Age of Steam Boating Destination(s) Albany Institute of History & Art 518-463-4478 125 Washington Avenue Albany, NY 12210 www.albanyinstitute.org County Albany Grades 3rd Grade,4th Grade,5th Grade Author Lynn Willigan, Darby Seward, Tracy Grosner,Erika Sanger Summary This activity can be adapted for use with many topics although it was developed in conjunction with Full Steam Ahead: Robert Fulton and the Age of Steamboating at the Albany Institute of History & Art. Students, teachers, and museum staff discussed steamboats, New York society, and travel on the Hudson River before students created postcards. Question Who might have been interested in using a steamboat instead of a sailing ship? Why? How/why can a relatively simple illustration, like a postcard, increase interest in taking such a trip? Content Understanding(s) Use of collage and painting techniques Concept Understanding(s) Ways form, color, and detail can be used to illustrate objects and their functions Ways to use language and art communicate why and how people travel on the Hudson River Vocabulary Form - Any three-dimensional object. A form can be measured from top to bottom (height), side to side (width), and front to back (depth). Form is also a general term that means the structure or design of a work. Color - The perceived character of a surface according to the wavelength of light reflected from it. Color has three dimensions: Hue (indicated by a name such as red or yellow), Value (lightness or darkness), and Intensity ( purity or saturation). Illustration -- a design or picture that explains text or shows what happens in a story in a book, magazine, or other print or electronic medium.

  • Spool Knitting
    Spool knitting by Angie This is a very old craft that can be used to make many items – from lanyards, flowers and keyrings, to hats. Children often find it engaging, but it is be an easy and relaxing hobby for anyone. And once learned, the technique can be applied to similar forms of knitting. Also known as corking, French knitting (English knitting in France), or mushroom knitting, at its simplest, this craft uses a basic wood or plastic spool, with a hole down the centre and an array of pins on the top. Lucets, which were invented by the Vikings, are the historical origin of this kind of knitting. They are made of wood and have two arm-like horns. They are used to make strong, flat braid. Spool knitters make round braid. The working technique is the same. Spools knitters can be made of old wooden cotton thread reels with four nails hammered into the top. Round-headed finishing nails or cotter pins can also be used. The centre channel should be sanded or filed, so that the yarn doesn't catch. A large wooden bead, with one end cut down slightly, can also be used. Several toy and craft companies make plastic or wood knitters. They usually have between three and six pins and come equipped with a knitting tool, usually made of metal. Larger versions of knitters, with dozens of pins, are made of plastic or wood, either round, rectangular or in an “S” shape, and are called loom knitters. The knitting technique is the same for all and they're used to make circular or longer items, such as scarves, sweaters and afghans.
