Students will discover animal adaptation through both science and art. In the first half of the program, students will work in groups to collaborate in discovering animal adaptations based on a biofact assigned to the group. During the second half of the program, students will discover famous artists (with a focus on animal art), learn two different drawing techniques and put these techniques into practice when creating their own animal art (containing fantastical animal adaptations) inspired by the live animal they meet.
