Art, Science and You: A Program for Families at the Tompkins County Public Library
3-718430.jpg)
ITHACA—Be a part of art at the Tompkins County Public Library.
Children ages 7 through 13 are invited to help local artist Josh Sperling complete the sculpture he has on exhibit at the Library.
Sperling has created a large geodesic structure, a truncated icosahedron, based on the work of Buckminster Fuller, and he invites area families to help assemble the geodesic, or soccer-ball-shaped, models which will fill the sculpture.
During this April 5 program, families will learn about the science behind the sculpture, an infinitely complex object which relates to unspecified scales of magnification, and they will be a part of the Library’s newest art exhibit.
This program is being co-sponsored by Cornell’s Center for Materials Research. It is free and open to the public, and it will be held in the Library’s Borg Warner Community Meeting Room beginning at 2:00 PM.
For more information, please contact Adelle Leise (607) 272-4557 Ext. 276 0r 277
