Family Photo Fun Day: Patterns in Nature

Family Photo Fun Days feature free activities designed for children ages 5-13 accompanied by a parent or guardian. Come visit the museum and explore new ways of seeing and creating!

SCOPE IT OUT!

Come see the beautiful colors and designs that can be found in nature close-up! Using a combination of microscopes, view the unique lines spirals, textures, tessellations, grooves and color combinations found in natural objects. Feathers, shells, flowers–and lots of other items–offer wonderful photo opportunities. You can create frame-filling shots of these unique patterns, and take photo of your favorites to print. What will you see? Come scope it out!

DESIGN YOUR OWN!

Kids are also invited to try making their own patterns and shapes using the artistic method of marbling! Choose from an assortment of colors, draw lines or make repeating patterns and then press cardstock on top to reveal your final piece.
