Autumn Colours

We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves. Did you ever wonder how and why a fall leaf changes color? Why a maple leaf turns bright red? Where do the yellows and oranges come from? To answer those questions, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do.

Leaves are nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots. They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Glucose is a kind of sugar. Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growing. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis. That means "putting together with light." A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color.

 
 
As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter. This is how the trees "know" to begin getting ready for winter.

During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. As the bright green fades away, we begin to see yellow and orange colors. Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all along. We just can't see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll.

The bright reds and purples we see in leaves are made mostly in the fall. In some trees, like maples, glucose is trapped in the leaves after photosynthesis stops. Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves turn this glucose into a red color. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.

It is the combination of all these things that make the beautiful colors we enjoy in the fall.







 
 
 
 
 

When I see you smile

When I see you smile

I can face the world,

Oh you know I can do anything

When I see you smile

I see a ray of light,

Oh I see it shining

right through the rain

When I see you smile

Baby when I see you smile at me

Oh yeah
 

 

How to draw a cat

 

Cats can be very hard to draw because of their complex

 markings and varied poses. Often a thin cat will

look very fat when sitting . Sometimes when

you try to add the body and legs,

it just doesn't look quite right.

 

But we believe that drawing a cat can

be pretty easy if you break it down

into some simple steps. If you have a

cat of your own, watch it ...

 

                                Step 1:

 

Yup, just a circle.

 

       Step 2:

At this point our cat looks something  like the way people describe aliens from another planet. Cats can have almond-shaped eyes or round eyes. Note that the eyes are placed about in the middle of our circle.
  Step 3:
  We've added a V for the nose.  For the mouth we've placed a straight line under the nose, with two lines on each side. The ears are placed on  each side of  the head; they look a little like leaves.
    Step 4 :We've added some detail such as whiskers,
 and stripes. We also filled in the ears
to make them look more realistic.
In this drawing we made the nose
V into a triangle, and turned it slightly


can keep yours straight if you want to.

Step 5:

The main thing to remember when doing
a cat's body is to be sure to place
the head on its body (you almost never
see a cat's neck). Now this tip may
sound silly, but lots of people don't
quite make the connection.
Make the front legs with three
straight lines. The paws can be
indicated with three U-type lines.
The best part of drawing a cat is
 adding unique markings. They can be
stripes for a tabby, spots or anything
you think would be fun. Most black cats
have a spot of white at their necks, and
sometimes some white in their ears too.

 

   
AND
   

 
That's the whole picture of the prettiest cat...
 
 

HOW TO DRAW A FACE

To draw a face, we need to really

LOOK at a face. Most people

draw the eyes at the top of

the oval head shape.

But look at the pink lines...

the eyes are really about

half way between the top of

the head and the chin.

Many people also make

the ears too small.

Look at the blue line.

The ear starts at the eyebrow

level and ends at the bottom

of the nose. And the nose

(see the red line), should go

to about half way from the eyes

to the chin. While we might

not like to admit that we have

big mouths, your mouth is

probably as wide as imaginary

lines (the green lines) drawn

from the pupil (the black dot

in your eye) downward to where

you mouth should be... which is

a little less than half way from

the bottom of your nose to

the bottom of your chin! Lastly,

you will want to put a "real"

looking neck on your person.

Too thin of a neck just won't work.

See the white lines? The neck

is thicker than you think!
