Children's Scavenger Hunt
Go outside to the Children's front lawn and find the Star Catcher
!
Here are some questions for you to answer:

What happens when you turn the cylinder at the base? Can you make the sculpture move?

Does it make a sound in the wind? What sounds does it make?

This sculpture is abstract, what do the shapes make you think of?

Star Catcher
Acero, aluminio, pintura iridiscente; 2017
John King (1947 - )
Donado por la Fundación Marion Esser Kaufmann
Star Catcher es una escultura cinética que se activa con el viento o cuando el espectador hace girar un cilindro para crear movimiento. John King crea obras de arte cinéticas de gran tamaño montadas en torres impulsadas por el viento como entretenimiento y encanto. Sus grandes instalaciones se encuentran en espacios públicos y privados, incluso en exposiciones permanentes en la estación de tren ligero Aurora City Center, la escuela Emily Griffith y varios municipios, entre ellos Broomfield, Westminster, Boulder, Grand Junction, Greeley, Lyons, Pueblo y Littleton.
¡Anda a ver esta escultura! Está ubicada junto a la terraza de la cafetería.
¿Qué sucede cuando giras el cilindro en la base? ¿Puedes hacer que la escultura se mueva? ¿Emite algún sonido con el viento?
