Using Warhammer in Class

[Rusted Boltgun]

My son has moved up to secondary (high) school this year. All of a sudden, art classes have taken a huge leap forward and his homework assignment for the last two weeks was to create a colour wheel. Not just draw or paint one but to 'create' something's special.

 

Having told me about it, I asked him what he thought he could use for his homework. His first thought was 'minis'. Uh oh. This wasn't going to be a project he could do in an hour...

 

Jr submitted the idea of a mini divided into three primary colours, three more of secondary colours which them move into a tertiary ring of nine minis. 'That won't be cheap,' I said, 'let me see what I have in the loft'. A while back I had bought an eBay lot of used marines I thought I could use for painting practice of conversions or stuff. 

 

So we set about sorting through a pile of bits and he started gluing them up.

Then we went through my paint stash and selected his preferred colours 

 

 

 

I gave them a spray of Corax White

and we got cracking

It ended up being a bit of a rush job as we went away to the seaside for the weekend but we got it done.

 

 

 

The teacher was really pleased with the effort he put in and he loved putting his hobby into his school work. I was happy to take on the role of assistant, priming and getting (some of) those basecoats on.

 

I wonder how else we can work Warhammer into school work?

 

Dice rolls in math...?
