Holes to the Whole Installation at RCPL

The Rapid City Public Library has a Termesphere, Holes to the Whole, on loan from Dick Termes through the month of August. Look for it in the study space across from the circulation desk. You can also see it and hear a description of this sphere by Termes at Youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXIPZ-1dCiM .

Dick and his son, Kabe, put up the Termesphere in the library.

The Hands-On Partnership for Science, Literature and Art in South Dakota worked with Termes to create their newest traveling exhibit. The exhibit, entitled, Termesphere Up Down & All Around Geometry in Your Visual World, is designed to help students see and learn about the orders of total visual space with many hands-on activities to do. It will be in the library upstairs throughout the month of August.

Dick Terme's love for the art is shared through workshops for students, and we have two workshops planned on Wednesday, August 5 at the Rapid City Public library downtown at 10 a.m. and at General Beadle Elementary School at 1 p.m. The students, with the assistance of Termes, will create 25 different polyhedron models. They will learn spatial thinking and the connection between art and geometry.

They will also be able to identify polyhedrons as objects in the real world such as seeds, viruses, crystals, DNA molecules, plants, chandeliers and TV sets.

You must be third grade or older to attend this workshop and you can register by calling the Rapid City Public Library.
