Research for Bothhttp://www.aneverydaystory.com/beginners-guide-to-reggio-emilia/main-principles/ The Reggio Emilia approach sums up what I've learned from my research as the environment being a "teacher" through self-discovery learning. It explains the way I want to approach my work in order to create a play space that benefits children. http://www.racheous.com/reggio-inspired/exploring-light/ LIGHT PLAY EXHIBIT 18 Jul 2015 - 30 Aug 2015 Enter the dazzling world of Light Play where children can explore their artistic potential in an interactive space created especially for them! Play with overhead projectors and illuminated light boxes and discover what happens when light is cast on different materials. Explore transparency, reflection and shadow as well as other properties of light. See the Children’s Gallery transform into a constantly evolving light scape before your very eyes! Light Play embraces the philosophies of Reggio Emilia and REmida to provide a creative environment for young children which encourages collaborative play, experimentation and discovery-based learning. https://www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/allevents/light-play/ https://www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/kids/childrens-gallery/ " "A school needs to be a place for all children, not based on the idea that they are all the same, but that they are all different." -Loris Malaguzzi (founder of the first Reggio Emilia School) Reflective light has been the subject of discovery and object of fascination for the children for quite sometime. A few days ago we decided to experiment and play with sand on top of the light table. The children begun to explore the sand, perhaps attracted by the light that shined through the plexi glass… The explorations involved their entire body moving it up and down from left to right in rhythm with the sands movement. They used their palms, finger tips, elbows and different objects to move it around. The light created some dark and light shadows that altered the appearance of the sand. " http://casamarias.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/stripe-lights.html The Reggio Emilia approach inspires play discovering light, altering the perspective of objects. The combination of colour, light with objects follows the concept of "loose parts". How does this object look in the light compared to another? Why is that? I think creating a space that uses this approach can open up a variety of questions to children who are learning about the transparency and perspective of objects.
