Community members of all ages can come and make art! We will have several professional artists on hand to facilitate participants creating their very own artwork! Through the use of paint, drawing and 3D design elements, participants will engage with the raw beauty and wonder found in the natural world.We will encourage insect-, animal-, or botanical-based artwork inspired by the natural world and the book "World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments" by Aimee Nezhukumatathil and illustrated by Fumi Nakamura. Whether you want to try a new art medium, have fun with a friend of enjoy family art-making, we welcome you! This workshop is part of the One State/One Story: World of Wonders initiative designed by Indiana Humanities, in partnership with the Indiana State Library and Indiana Center for the Book. One State/One Story encourages Hoosiers to read and engage deeply with a book as part of a statewide conversation tied to Indiana Humanities’ current theme. Free and open to the public.
