Optical Science & Art by Thames & Kosmos deals with the sciences of light, optics, and visual perception, which finds applications in order ranging from physics to psychology to painting. By witnessing optical illusions that involve shapes, color, depth, and scale, and learning how optical illusions relate to artists’ techniques, children can engage with the complexity of optical science and art in accessible and entertaining ways. Among the 24 science experiments in the kit, children will experiment with light and the color spectrum by building a color wheel, a fiber optic peacock, and diffraction glasses, build a camera obscure and pinhole glasses to learn how the eye and a camera are similar and different, experiment with lens and light refraction, and uses 3D glasses plus an Ames room model to experiment with spatial vision and depth perception. Optical Science & Art by Thames & Kosmos is accompanied by a 48-page, full-color experiment manual. See firsthand how your eye and brain work together to perceive color, light, depth, perspective, size, shape, and motion.Ages 8 and up.By Thames & Kosmos
