Early Learning Zone
Objective:
Create an interactive space for children to be placed in the
Life-Long Learning Center, a brand new space being added
to the renovated Cleveland Museum of Art in 2011. The
Early Learning Zone will feature many interactive spaces,
including areas for children to create mobiles in the style
of Alexander Calder, learn about line and shape by drawing
on wall mounted touch screens, construct ancient Greek
and Roman columns, and sort and organize art into their
own personal galleries. The project was commissioned by
the CMA Director of Public Programming, Mike Starinsky,
and is the first freelance project for Rucker Design.
