Think of the last picture of a plant or an animal you saw in a book - was it a photograph or a drawing? We are all used to seeing images of nature through photographs in our books, magazines, and videos. Photography is a pretty young field, and early scientists couldn’t simply pull out a phone and snap a picture! So, how did they record the tiny details of natural objects? In this natural history JAM, we’ll take a look at some of the earliest drawings, even from ancient Roman and Greek times, of plants and animals these early scientists made. We will also go on our own exploration along the wetlands trail to find objects to sketch.
PLEASE NOTE:
We require a 24 hour cancellation notice for Little Explorers Club and JAM Sessions reservations via emailing info@visitthemap.org. Please include the name on the reservation, number of students, date and time of the class.
Please help create an outstanding learning environment by limiting disruptions in the classroom!
Parents are, of course, always welcome to remain in class but should a parent choose to step out, we have provided a seating area just outside the classrooms. Parents and siblings are also welcome to explore our Discovery Room or the rest of the Museum until the class concludes.
