Exploring Light and Illusion: The Infinity Mirror Project

Exploring Light and Illusion: The Infinity Mirror Project

Students create an infinity mirror using paper plates, mirrors, and small LED lights.
The reflections between two mirrors create the illusion of endless light and space.
This project blends art, creativity, and the science of light.

You can find the materials list and step-by-step instructions for this project on my blog.
The post explains how to build the infinity mirror using simple materials such as paper plates, reflective mirrors, and small LED lights.

This Infinity Image Art Project uses simple materials such as paper plates, reflective mirrors, and small LED lights.
Students decorate the plate with their own drawings, patterns, and imaginative scenes.
Two mirrors are placed facing each other with a light between them to create a repeating reflection.
This reflection produces the illusion of an endless tunnel of light, known as the “infinite mirror” effect.
The project combines art and science, helping students explore creativity while learning about light and reflection.
