11/4 & 11/6 Materials Playgroup

Welcome to our Late Fall Session of our Materials Playgroup!  For this six weeks, we will be exploring light and shadow.

This week, we opened with something familiar--clay--and used cookie cutters to make impressions in slabs.  

In the studio, we explored light and shadows created by our projector, and we placed colored film and necklaces on the projector's surface.  We noticed that very few friends made the connection that changes on the projector made changes on the wall.  

We also made marks with light colored oil pastels on dark paper, we punched paper shapes in the message center, we used flashlights in our hidey-hole, and our balls and tunnels area looked a lot like a scene from a well-known book.
