Join us for a fun hands-on workshop where you will learn the math and science of reflections and make simple but very cool kaliedoscopes.
Also we will explore some simple math/art connections and create beautiful designs that the Moors in Granada, Spain would be envious of.
Do you know that "anamorphic" art is made using mirrors? You will learn how!
...think of sidewalk chalk paintings which look three dimensional from one position.
Appropriate for all grade level educators interested in art or science or math
REGISTRATION INFORMATION contact: Liz Lauter email: [email protected]
$45 for teachers, $65 for non-teachers
All materials included
LOCATION:
Redwood High School, rm 514
Larkspur, Ca. (link to map and directions here)
