Gan Daled made beautiful chanukiyot to enhance the celebration of Chanukah. The chanukiyot are styled after the artwork of Yaacov Agam. Agam is an Israeli artist, the son of a rabbi in Rishon Le Zion, and is known for his kinetic art. In kinetic or "op" art, the specially arranged patterns of line and color seem almost to move.
When looking at the chanukiyot from a certain angle, we see our Hebrew names. When shifting
our gaze just a bit, we are treated to a view of Yerushalayim.

Happy Chanukah!
On Yom Ha'atzmaut Gan Gimmel began a special project which they completed in time for Yom Yerushalayim. They created pictures in the style of Yaacov Agam. Agam is an Israeli artist, the son of a rabbi in Rishon LeZion, and is known for his kinetic art.
The children decorated two pictures, one of the Israeli flag and one of Yerushalayim. By cutting the pictures into strips and gluing them on a fanned paper alternating pictures, they created kinetic masterpieces. Their art works seem to change with every movement of the viewer's head.
