Kids and Families Workshop: Into the Woods with Botanical Journals: A Tree Identification Workshop (Ages 5–12)
Back by popular demand, the McMullen Museum invites children ages five to twelve to make their own botanical journals. Children and chaperones will begin with a tour through William Trost Richards: Hieroglyphs of Landscape, featuring over 180 landscape paintings, drawings, and prints, to highlight the artist’s close attention to flora. Following the tour, children will construct and decorate their own botanical journals before heading outdoors to identify different species of trees. In the spirit of Richards who enjoyed making studies of the plants, trees, and rocks around him, we will be looking at the shape, bark, and leaves of numerous trees. Children can take notes, do tree rubbings, draw observations, and collect specimens to add to their journals.
Because seats are limited, the Museum requests that all children are registered prior to the event at http://bit.ly/2juF47g.
