ReMake Learning Days at the GCDI
May 8, 2021 from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Outdoor: Nature Inspired Design
Students and families will use objects found in nature to inspire their creative designs. Projects will include cyanotype photographs, natural tie-dying, and making seed bombs to disperse native plant species. At the cyanotype photography station, participants will use the power of the sun with manmade and natural objects to create collages and diptych prints in brilliant cyan-blue. At the natural tie-dying station, participants will use all-natural dyes made from plant material to make unique tie-dye t-shirts and bandanas. Digitally fabricated wood pieces and string will be used to make tie-dye in the various Shibori styles. At the seed bomb station, participants will combine clay and seeds of various native species to create a “seed bomb” which can be dispersed without digging or tending. Map to event will be sent via email to registered participants. |
May 6, 2021 from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED due to COVID concerns at our location.
Indoor: 3D Art & Design Students and families will create 3 dimensional art and design projects. Participants will build electronic robots from recycled materials and use digitally fabricated and carved forms in their original block printing designs. At the robotics station, participants will create simple circuits with motors or lights to give their recycled material robots character. At the printing press station, participants will learn to cut out simple shapes on the laser cutter to use as stamps in their block print designs. |
May 8, 2021 from 10 am - 11:00 am
Virtual: Students will create a Scratch account and learn how to code their own games or narratives. After introducing learners to the possibilities of Scratch coding, we will encourage them to learn basic block coding skills. These skills include but are not limited to: creating dialogue, voice recording, changing the background, animating a sprite, and creating looped events. We will also show participants how to share their creations with the rest of the Scratch community.
