The Bockelt Box is designed for students in grades 5 to 9. Delivered directly to schools, it contains everything needed for five double periods of art classes up to 27 students.
With the Bockelt Box, the classroom becomes an experimental laboratory! Students explore natural and physical phenomena through creative projects—from durable soap bubbles to sound experiments. The box was developed by the artist Julius Bockelt, an artist at the Atelier Goldstein in Frankfurt am Main. The Bockelt Box inspires new ways of thinking and challenges preconceptions. This unique interactive learning experience brings together science and art, sparking creativity and curiosity.
What is the concept behind the Bockelt Box? The “Bockelt Box” offers an extraordinary teaching format that invites students to become actively involved. The box contains videos and materials for the students’ work. In the videos, the artist Julius Bockelt guides students to follow his artistic impulses using the materials provided: they create durable soap bubbles from a special mixture, fill them with ink, and “paint” on large sheets of wall paper with the bursting ink. They explore lines, moiré patterns, magnifying glasses and magnification, weightlessness and gravity. Clouds are observed, photographed, sorted by color, and assembled into collages. Sounds are recorded and played back in an experimental concert reminiscent of contemporary noise music.
