Art and Science of Rainbows
In my 'Art and Science of Rainbows' workshop these school holidays at Katoomba Library, lucky young artist-scientists got to conduct exciting experiments and create colourful art, all in the name of exploring rainbows, prisms and the colour spectrum!
Here are just some of the things we did:
1. Used a torch through a prism, to create a rainbow on a white wall.
2. Discussed the science behind raindrops and light creating rainbows.
3. Played with colourful 'Dragon's Eggs' (Otherwise known as Water Beads or Orbeez). Click here to see an awesome video of a pool FILLED with Orbeez!!
4. Used an eye dropper to put drops of food colouring into oil.
5. Spun a colour wheel around until it turned white. Click here for another take on this activity.
6. Blended chalk pastels on black paper, to create rainbow-inspired artworks.
