Observe the unique way in which artist Andy Goldsworthy uses the natural environment – and ONLY the natural environment- to build deceptively simple works of engineering art. Use natural materials to construct Goldsworthy inspired sculptures. Weather permitting, this class will be held outdoors. Weather not permitting, it can be held indoors.
Rube Goldberg Marble Roller Coaster
Learn about the wonderfully inventive cartoon creations of Rube Goldberg and the real “Rube Goldberg machines” they inspire. Explore the connection between potential and kinetic energy by using tubes, tape and other house hold materials to create creative marble “roller coasters”. Send marbles on loop-the-loops, spirals and more in attempts to have the marble travel through over 6 feet of tubing and then – at the end of its journey –start another reaction in the spirit of Rube Goldberg.
