BCM’s newest exhibit, Opposites Abstract, is inspired by Mo Willems’ bestselling children’s book of the same name! Visitors can investigate opposites through hands-on experiences, art-making, and performances.  

Highlights include:

  • Drawing with a friend side-by-side where curves you draw on one screen are translated into straight lines on their screen - and vice versa!
  • Moving translucent shapes on an overhead projector to create an abstract artwork, playing with light, color and shadow.
  • Playing a melody, then turning the crank to change the speed of the music and notice how the song changes.
  • Creating a small piece of art prompted by an Element of Art and an OPPOSITE, then hanging your work as part of a larger collaborative piece inspired by opposites.
