Schmutz Co. in the Curiosity Lab Nov 28th!
We had a great time on Sunday, here in the Curiosity Lab with Dave & Don from the Schmutz Co.! With the use of charcoal we were able to draw a variety of pictures. Together Katherine, Rick, Luke, & Gianna drew designs that were turned into a short animation. Thanks to everyone that helped contribute to the Charcoal Animations! Way to go everyone!

F.I.N.E. Artist Wade Kramm in the Curiosity lab Nov 27th!
What fun! We explored shadows in the Curiosity Lab. Wade Kramm stopped in again to play with light and make some shadow portraits. Thank you to all the visitors who sat patiently and allowed Wade to trace your shadow. While Wade played others made shadow puppet shows and tried to solve the Shape of Shadows Game.
Wade Kramm will be back again Friday December 3rd @ 1pm in the Curiosity Lab. We will be playing with mirrors and so can you!
here are some photos from Nov 27th.

F.I.N.E. Artist Wade Kramm in the Curiosity Lab! Nov 20th
I had such a fun day running back and forth in the Curiosity Lab helping Wade and the visitors play with light and shadows. Wade was making some initial investigations into his F.I.N.E. Artist in Residency project and he needed some volunteers. We found some helpful, patient, children that were willing to stand still for about 5 minutes. Trinity and Ian were great! They had their shadow portraits made by Wade in a multiple stage process.
Wade had Trinity and Ian stand in front of white paper mounted on the wall and traced their shadows. Wade then placed the white paper with the tracing on the floor in front of a clear mylar screen. He traced onto the clear mylar screen the lines on the white paper. He then used the tracing on the clear mylar as a template to cut out a shadow portrait from cardboard. The shadow portrait was stood up in the Curiosity Lab to cast a shadow on the floor that was the exact size of Trinity and Ian.
Here’s some photos from the day.

Wade Kramm Sat Nov 20th
F.I.N.E. Artist Wade Kramm will be in installing a sculpture in the Curiosity Lab on Saturday, November 20 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. Stop in to see his work with light and shadows, then meet Wade to ask him questions about whatever your curious about.
Wade Kramm’s artwork is about seeing. Sometimes the artwork he makes causes us to see things that are not really there and other times to see things that are there, but are nearly invisible or barely noticeable. Shadows, the reflections in glass and water and even the empty air around us are things that Wade likes to think about. Through sculpture, photography and installation his work will attempt to open up our eyes to the invisible and nearly invisible in the world around us. Wade received his MFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2000 and has been residing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania since 2008.
