DESCRIPTION
Paint a picture of the past! We’ll look at the evidence, consider the anatomy, draw what we see, and imagine the possibilities. Students will learn about fossils, how they inform us about past environments, and in what ways science guides art.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE
This live interactive program utilizes our Mesozoic Gallery where we are able see plenty of fossil “sea monsters.” We will be drawing as we explore so each participant will need: 3 pieces of paper, a pencil, scissors, and tape. We always leave plenty of time for questions, too!
