Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum
Wonder is in Our Nature®
11:30am – Critter Connection | 12pm – Animal Feeding | 2pm – Butterfly Release
Join artist Alex Boersma and get into the Halloween spirit with this animal skeleton workshop! Using skeletons and skulls from the museum’s collection, we’ll learn how to draw skeletons accurately and proportionally. Then we will turn them into beautiful, dimensional paintings on toned paper using white opaque watercolor. No experience necessary!
This program is for adults. All materials included.
Do you ever wonder how a butterfly gets its colors? Or how turtles hibernate? Do you wonder how birds know where to migrate each year? For over 165 years, the Chicago Academy of Sciences / Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum has served a unique role in the city of Chicago connecting people of all ages to nature and science through immersive exhibits, fun family events, important conservation research and in-depth education programs, inspiring the wonder in all of us.
