Light & Shadow

When lights hits an object, it casts a dark shape on the surface of the opposite side of the object. The dark shape is called a shadow.

Found Objects: Creating a Sculpture

Did you know you can create art using objects you find at home. Start a collection of “beautiful stuff” : corks, empty aluminum cans, popsicle sticks, wood scraps, string, yarn, bottle tops, parts of broken toys and tops from dried markers! These are only a few ideas.

Think about what you can do with your beautiful stuff: sort by color, shape, size or texture.  Arrange, stack, balance, and make patterns with your stuff to create a work of art!

Keep your collection in a bag or box so you can start all over again!

Three Dimensional Thinking

In this activity we will work with paper to create a sculpture.
