Light and Shadow Play with the Overhead Projector

I love using the overhead projector.  There are so many possibilities.  
The infants visited me in the art studio and we got right to work with lights and shadows. It was great to see some of the older infants get up and touch the wall trying to touch the images reflecting from the projector while the younger infants watched as the images on the wall moved and changed. 

The preschoolers loved exploring the materials offered and moving them around to see how they changed as they were layered and sorted on the projector.  We talked about transparent versus non-transparent objects as we noticed the light passed through some objects and not others. 

Here are some shaped ice cubes and melted bead disks



Various art materials are put on and taken off of the projector

I also put up a giant piece of paper so the children could draw and trace what they were seeing
