**Making Waves: Art, Play and Mindfulness with Sound**
Join teaching artist Rebecca Mack for a series of engaging workshops designed for early childhood educators, where the ephemeral materials of sound and light are explored through creative expression and scientific discovery. The workshops, held on July 23 and July 30, encourage educators to rethink ordinary classroom objects as tools for manipulating these dynamic waveforms of energy.
The **Sound Workshop** on July 23 focuses on evaluating materials for transparency and opacity, fostering creativity through projection, shadow play, and light sculpture. The **Light Workshop** on July 30 introduces activators and resonators to deepen understanding of sound, with practical applications such as mindfulness, listening walks, and descriptive language.
Both sessions are complemented by Rebecca's illustrated book, *A Handbook of Sound and Light*, which serves as a resource for promoting scientific understanding in art and creativity. Participants will learn how to document children's interactions with sound and light, capturing their expressive insights into foundational scientific concepts.
These workshops are free with required advance registration. Attendees can register for one or both workshops and will receive Documentation of Professional Development. Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Vermont Arts Council, this initiative offers a unique opportunity to enhance teaching practices in the early childhood education landscape.
**Instructor: Rebecca Mack** - A musician and visual artist based in Burlington, Vermont, and a former preschool art teacher, Rebecca is passionate about sparking curiosity and creativity in young minds.
