Community Arts Initiative: Building with Light
Boston-area kids explore light and color to create a collaborative large-scale installation
Over the past school year, students from the Museum鈥檚 ten Community Arts Initiative (CAI) partners visited the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 with artist Julie Martini as part of the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播鈥檚 12th annual Artist Project.
With sketchbooks in hand to record ideas and drawings, students discussed objects in the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播鈥檚 galleries that use light as a medium or as a subject鈥攊ncluding stained glass, contemporary light art, and Impressionist painting鈥攖o develop an understanding of the use of light in art and architecture. Then, inspired by what they explored in the Museum galleries and the buildings in their home communities, the children used a variety of transparent materials to experiment with how they intensify and modify light.
The final installation of 鈥淏uilding with Light鈥 celebrates their discoveries, incorporating colors, patterns, and motifs from their sketches into designs on large Plexiglas panels.
Through the CAI, the 澳门六合彩开奖现场直播 is proud to partner with Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center, Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester, United South End Settlements, West End House Boys and Girls Club of Allston-Brighton, Vine Street Community Center, and five of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boston located in Blue Hill, Chelsea, Charlestown, South Boston, and Roxbury.
