see wind, hear wind, feel wind

Lecturer: Anke Sauer

On both days we will build wind ghosts, flags and wind instruments.

Kite building course "Wind ghosts - feeling the wind

Course contents:
- Interesting facts about the wind and the kite.
- Building and designing kites.
- Test flight.
The wind ghosts are created by everyday materials such as plastic waste and "everything you can find" like old cord, wire, foil, straw, video tapes, candy paper, scraps of wool etc. A course that encourages the participant to think about his kite already while choosing the materials.
It is explained in the course why a kite flies, how to fly a kite and what you are not allowed to do as a kite flyer.

Building flags - making the wind visible

Flags made of bamboo and foil, as group installation. The design with transparent foil and colorful adhesive dots makes it possible to create a worth seeing installation also with younger children.
The children should think in groups about how to make their flags into an overall picture. The flags can become part of the exhibition.

Wind harps - listen to the wind

Wind harps can be easily installed between trees. But also in the field by installing woods.
The wind makes the sound - sometimes it hums loud and high or very timidly low.
It is also possible to make humming arches which can be "played" by the participants themselves or attached to the "basic frame". With a wind harp, the supporting "scaffolding" can also be designed.

It whistles, rattles and sings - listening to the wind

Wind chimes from plastic bottles.
Designed plastic bottles can become windmills or just howl eerily.

fee: 5,- € / per day

The number of participants is limited.

Course location: Schenkelsbergschule in Kassel-Oberzwehren.
