Children's Workshop

1940, English. Directed by László Moholy-Nagy.

For several years a children’s class was held at the school on Saturday mornings. Creativity was encouraged, often within the framework of a specific project. For example, a visit to the Lincoln Park Zoo might inspire the design and construction of figures of animals, as shown in the film. Or a visit to the Shedd Aquarium would result in the construction of rattan and cellophane fishes. The culmination of a project was the bringing together of the children and their creations in a performance, such as the AQUARIUM PLAY shown at the end of the film, which featured reflected colored forms and shadows.
