Soap Film Painting
(color-making color)

Soap Film Painting allows visitors to make a six-foot-by-six-foot vertical soap film. Within this film, visitors can observe colors created by the interference of reflected light waves and the wave patterns that form in a vibrating medium. By gently shaking the frame or blowing on the film, the changing colors and waves are enhanced.
