"In the Beginning #2" was inspired by photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope on its travels through Space. It represents the first of the "Five Great Lessons" in the Montessori curriculum dealing with the creation of the Universe. The Extended Day, Elementary and Middle School Plus students were excited to try to recreate on tiles the beauty of the galaxies, nebulae, and cosmic "stuff" that the Hubble telescope has been able to capture. Each tile on this composite framed piece, measuring 22" x 45", was colored with Sharpie permanent markers. 91% isopropyl alcohol was then dripped and/or sprayed onto the colored tiles to blend the colors, creating an unpredictable panorama of colors and shapes. The children were very excited to watch the transformation as they applied the alcohol to their tiles, one child even exclaiming, "I could do this forever!" Another enthusiastically asked, "How many can we make?"
