As part of this Art of Nature special, get up close and personal with the art of arthropods!
Featuring beautiful insect displays, from the rarely seen insect taxidermy collection, this program is perfect for aspiring artists and entomologists alike.
Taught by a professional entomological illustrator and exhibitor, this workshop will begin with a scientific presentation on insects before transitioning to the painting portion. Using the Museum's taxidermy collections as references, participants will learn the basics of watercolor and sketching with step-by-step instruction.
No prior experience required. Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop. Open to ages 16+/all experience levels. All supplies included.
