LRT’s Lightscape = Math + Light + Colour
Inspired by cj’s collaborative artwork at Blair Station with 2,000+ dichroic-glass rectangles, students will count, measure, cut and assemble light-weight materials to recreate the mathematical, kinetic and cast-light effects of cj’s art. The project will explore pattern, lines, planes, space, massing, composition, colour-theory, transparency, reflected and projected light; while introducing the concepts of architecture, engineering and space-glass. Pre-cut shapes will be provided for the very young; the project will become more complex for older students.

Shimmer and Shape your Subject
Design, drawing and embossing exercises on lightweight shiny material, subjects can be developed around current class themes. Students will create low-relief pieces, mobiles or sculptures as individual works or as larger public art for the school. Tactile and imaginative, fun, simple or complex, these projects involve scissor-work, colouring, bending, folding, piercing, threading and assembly. Pre-cut shapes will be provided for the very young; the project will become more complex for older students. Makes an excellent project for whole school participation during a residency.
