This week was not only about tracing what we saw, but using our imaginations to depict scenes that are important to us. The school age children at Emily C explored their rooms through their cardboard frames and traced what they saw, and also what lived in their minds and memories.

One child depicted a starry night sky using dark blue and bright yellow. When they were done, the child invited themselves to experiment with their final creation around the room.This invitation generated new discoveries and experiments…We then discovered that, when we shone a flashlight through their work, the shadow of the stars reflected on the wall inside the classroom!
