Meeting Room

Tweens and teens will explore the intersection of art and science through the lens of Ruth Asawa's unique wire sculptures.

Embrace your creativity while learning about an influential artist and the science behind light and shadow. Asawa thought about how light would cast shadows from her art. Preplanning skills will be used to mimic
this design style. After creating their sculptures attendees will have a chance to see how the wire can be manipulated to change the shape of the shadows cast by flashlights. We’ll use jewelry wire and tools to create sculptures making this program just right for grades 4th-6th.

Space is limited: register in advance to reserve your spot and receive reminders. Registration will guarantee your seat until the event begins. Accessibility needs? Please contact ask@acpl.info as soon as possible - we’d love to help.
