No paint and painting skills needed. Create your own abstract art pieces with light only. Later can be used as a screen saver or even printed out on paper. But more importantly it is extremely fun activity to explore how ligh interacts with various objects. Also might be a great activity for children since led light sources are used.

Supplies

1. Three led light sources.
2. Three rods.
3. Hollow acrilic sphere.
4. Or any interesting objects you want to create nice colorful shadows with.

Create Shadows With Rods.

Using 3 led light sourses you can create various colorful shadows.
For that I took a photo frame and placed white paper inside. I secured the rodes with the play-doh. Next switch of the lights and switch on 3 light sources. Point at the rods and you should be able to see the colors shadows appear on the canvas. Nexts it is up to you to move the lights around and experiment with mixing the colors.

Next I took the hollow sphere and poored some water in it. The process is the same as with rodes. Light off, leds on and let you imagination do wonders. I personally really liked the painting patterns created with this method.
