| Description |
Artists of all kinds were invited to apply for the chance to visit our Goddard Space Flight Center to be inspired by the giant, golden, fully-assembled James Webb Space Telescope mirror. Webb has a mirror that is nearly 22 feet high and (to optimize it for infrared observations) is covered in a microscopic layer of actual gold. Because of Webb’s visually striking appearance, the project hosted a special viewing event on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016. There was an overwhelming response to the event invitation and ultimately twenty-four people were selected to attend. They represented a broad range of artistic media and styles, including: watercolor, 3D printed sculpture, silk screening, acrylics, sumi-e (East Asian brush technique), comics, letterpress, woodwork, metalwork, jewelry making, fiber art, ink, mural painting, kite-making, tattooing, scientific illustration, poetry, songwriting, and video making. The artists spent several hours sitting right in front of the telescope, where they sketched, painted, took photos and even filmed a music video. While some of the pieces of art are finished, most of the artists went home with their heads full of ideas and sketchbooks full of notes. We will continue to add event photos and art here to our Flickr. Ashley Zelinskie at work. Credit: Maggie Masetti Subscribe to our YouTube channel Follow us on Instagram |
