For one of the projects this quarter I was hoping to experiment with light and shadow, but sadly there was no sun.  In my art history class we learned about Malevich’s Black Square, and about the void.  This idea is fascinating to me.  I liked the comparison of the Black Square to “the curtain that appears at the beginning of a theatrical production”; the idea of infinite possibilities.  I am highly intrigued by a child’s reaction to/with the world as they grow up.  The section titled Reflection, Shadow, and the Self talks about children and shadows.  Young children do not know the reason for shadows and their connection to light cast down.  “A mature understanding of the physical world is achieved only when the child develops a geometrical understanding of the relation between a shadow, and object, and a light source.” (pg.127)
