[Kids Creative Lab at Meiji University]
Here’s a report on what happened at the Lab at Meiji on Sunday, July 13!
This program was called “The Blue Shadow Collection.”
Using special paper, the kids captured the shadows of all sorts of things and created their very own shadow collections.
The children thought carefully about what objects to use and what kinds of shadows to capture.
The finished shadow collections looked like landscapes, faces, or were filled with all sorts of quirky shapes… One child even remarked, “It’s just like a
shadow museum!”
