Art Explorers: Nature Art & Eco Lab
Discover the beauty of nature through art in Nature Art & Eco Lab! Artists will explore creative projects inspired by the natural world while connecting art with science, observation, and hands-on experimentation.
This STEAM-focused class blends art with nature and science as students investigate patterns, textures, habitats, and natural processes. Using mixed media, natural and recycled materials, painting, sculpture, and simple experiments, kids will discover how creativity and science work together through playful exploration.
