Inventions & Illusions
Be prepared to have your brain teased and eyes tricked! Investigate the fascinating world of Walter Wick, artist and creator of the popular Can You See What I See? book series, and co-creator of the I Spy books and games. Embark on a hands-on, guided tour of the special exhibition, Walter Wick: Games, Gizmos, and Toys in the Attic, where you will peek into spooky rooms, take a closer look at photographs full of illusions, and get a glimpse at the original sets used for the books! Let your imagination run wild when you make an original piece of art based on this fun and exciting exhibition. Brownies will work toward their Building Art badge, Junior Girl Scouts will work toward their Art in 3-D badge, and Cub Scouts will work toward their Photography Academics Pin or Belt Loop during this interactive, two-hour program!
