body proportions, Model Magic, and a balance scale


Recommended Posts

This morning DS was trying to make a Greek doll using model magic, but he was frustrated because he couldn't get the arms the same size, etc. I thought later, Hey, I could have gotten the balance scale out so he could weigh them and make them equal.

And then I thought, huh, I wonder if there are other ways we could use the balance scale to make the body proportions realistic. For example, maybe both legs together should equal the weight of the torso? Both arms should equal the weight of the head?

Does anyone know? It could make an interesting integrated lesson--math, science/anatomy, art--but I'm not sure what search terms to try on Google.
