Create your illusion: Kaleidoscope
Workshop for school classes Did you know that the kaleidoscope is one of the oldest visual entertainment instruments and was already known to the ancient Greeks?
"Kalós eidos skopéin" is Greek for seeing a beautiful shape/form. Similar to spinning tops or mobiles, kaleidoscopes are artful objects that show us another state of reality through a small mechanical manipulation.
The incident light refracted between several mirrors even gives us a small impression of infinity.
- 30 min. guided tour plus 1 h workshop
- Suitable for students from 2nd grade
- For more than 10 students we recommend two supervisors for the workshop
Schools and daycare centers
For school classes and daycare groups of all ages, the Illuseum Berlin offers changing, exhibition-spanning workshops an. Through creative approaches, we teach the groups to design illusions themselves.
In age-appropriate tours of the museum, the children are introduced to our focus areas.
Current exhibitions are explored using creative-playful approaches and artistic practices. Longer-term collaborations with schools and daycare centers can be individually conceived and implemented by arrangement.
