Connections Workshop: Illuminating Time

Explore how an open camera lens records light with exhibits in the museum's Seeing Collection, then create images using lights in conjunction with movement and objects. Consider what gets burned into memory, how time affects perception, and how one moment impacts the next. Leave with light painting photo prints and a heightened sense of space and time.

About Connections Workshop
Connections workshops use science to inspire you to create a piece of art. Begin by delving into a topic in science using museum exhibits and quick experiments. Pause to reflect on observations, personal associations, and reactions. Then it's your turn to respond by making art, be it conceptual, literal, or anywhere in between. Learn basic techniques for using an alternative art material, then let your creative engines roar. Led by an art educator, these workshops give you time to find a personal connection with science and enjoy creating a work of art. Connections adult art workshops are appropriate for all levels of science and art experience. Pre-registration is required. (See event website)
