*For children entering grades 4–6.*

Hone your observational superpowers and zoom in on the lives of animals while developing your drawing skills. Learn about elements of design such as contour, form, and texture as we sketch animals from the museum collection. Try other techniques such as collage and printmaking to capture plants and animals with the same elements of design. This art and science program is open to students of all skill levels and all materials will be provided.
