Two posts down, two to go! After exploring and experimenting the space, it is important visitors to our Creative Learning Centre have a chance to create something of their own, actively participate and contribute to the room in a tangible way. The elements in the room that allow visitors to create their own work are where you can see how they interpret the artwork and the activities. I have seen the following things created in this space:

The pipe cleaners have mutated into
- a kiwi
- a cowboy
- a helicopter
- a tank
- the Sky Tower
- flowers
- glasses
- people
- birds
- bees
- a chair

Pieces of blank paper have been transformed into:
- jars full of lollies
- eyeballs
- family names
- bees
- summer
- bubbles
- homes
- abstract compositions of bees with snazzy patterns and colours
Apart from the visible things created in this room, the element of the room I most enjoy is the conversations that this room creates amongst families and strangers. The experiences that are created here, and a feeling of accomplishment and contribution to the space. But more on that when we get to ‘share’...
