A top barns and public buildings the omnipresent weather vane perches silhouetted against the country sky. Mounted on a fence post near the house, the whirligig stands to amuse us while generating a whirling-dervish of colorful blurs. They have grown in popularity adding to gardens, front yards, and entryways. Students will first draw various shapes onto wood, then saw and carve forms. Finish by painting your weather vane or whirligig with traditional milk paint.
