1

Make a 8 mm hole in the middle of the canvas using a drill.

2

Make a rough design with a hard pencil – here we have drawn a portrait.

3

Paint the portrait according to your taste using matt A-Color acrylic paint. Leave to dry.

4

Use a craft knife to remove any unevenness from the drilled hole on the front and back.

5

Attach the clock mechanism through the hole: pass the screw thread of the clock through from the back of the canvas. Now attach the dial and then the nut from the front. Tighten the nut.

6

Attach the hands on top of the screw thread; the small hand (the hour hand) first and then the large hand (the minute hand). Give them a light push until a 'click' is heard. Now attach the second hand.

7

Use the hands as an indicator for where to draw the numbers on the dial. Use the template and draw the numbers with a pencil.

8

Outline and colour in the numbers with Uni Posca markers. Use a different colour from the background.

9

Put an AA battery in the clock mechanism.

Numbers-wise

Logical-mathematical intelligence. Enhanced by activities in which children must use their abilities to use mathematics in practice (but also when playing with number theory, equations, geometry, topology).

Self-wise

Personal intelligence. Enhanced by activities in which children must use their self-awareness, the ability to act and make personal decisions in a way which is adapted to match their surroundings.
