Children look for new ways of seeing and doing at Indy Art Lab summer learning experience.

If I could quote my friend and colleague Clark Fralick, two of the most important hallmarks of children's learning experience is exploration and authenticity. I am satisfied that the children were in control of their learning and we made wonderful discoveries about our capacities as creative thinkers and learners. We made some pretty good art too!
At Stringtown Park, despite 105 degree temperatures, we had a wonderful experience with approximately ten campers. My sincerest thanks goes to Ms. Cinthya Perez of the Stringtown Park Program. Her children are so lucky to have her as their camp counselor! More on our two week Indy Art Lab Summer Learning experiences later!

Learning Should be a Fascinating Adventure!

We looked at plant materials up close in the microscope.

Harness the Forces of Gravity!

We went to the marble run center at Stringtown Park.

We thought about how we could control the marbles with our materials.

We built structures to support our marble run tracks.

We dropped the marbles onto the tracks and watched gravity take over.

Sometimes we lost control of our marbles.

We had to make adjustments to keep the marbles on the tracks.
