than just a gallery for viewing, “Reflections” features hands-on learning materials and demonstration models through which some of the properties of reflected light may be investigated. These devices are accompanied by art in which these properties may be seen at work.

For instance, in the 15th century, Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi used a mirror to demonstrate perspective, the technique by which objects, in drawing and in painting, appear smaller as they recede in space. A replica of the device created by Brunelleschi to demonstrate how perspective rendering corresponded with reality is included in the exhibit, along with two paintings, one in which perspective drawing techniques are ignored and one in which perspective is carefully rendered.

“This exhibition gives viewers an opportunity to become involved with the works of art and their underlying principles as well,” Mr. Schrader concluded.

The Artmobile curator will present a free lecture and slide show highlighting this fascinating exhibition at 8 p.m. Friday, April 1, at the Gay Street Theatre. The Artmobile will be open before the lecture.

Additional information on the Artmobile’s visit to Rappahannock County is available from Martin Woodard, President of RAAC, by calling (703) 987-8521 or (708) 6753193.
