This past Tuesday Marianne and I joined fellow interns Jo and Erin to run an ‘Illuminated Art’ class at Kidspace at MassMoca. We used ‘throwies’ which are basically LED lights, batteries, tape and magnets. There were over 17 kids in the class and they all made interesting art pieces with their LED lights. Marianne gave a short introduction on how electricity completes a circuit and how light not only acts as function in our lives but that artists also use light.

Jo, a MassMoca intern has been teaching art to kids for years and was really great with helping the kids with their ideas.

A.J. made a rocket.

A thoughtful older brother even made a little LED toy for his baby brother!
