Additional Workshops Coming 2021
Register here
Who should register: Anyone in 7th, 8th, or 9th grade who has an interest in art and/or science and wants to learn more about how to create visuals that communicate complex
Description of workshops: VISTA Center instructors will visit with students over zoom to engage them in learning basic drawing skill and biology through presentations, videos, and drawing activities. The final task will be a group project to create visuals that aid in future instruction. The specific audience and content of the final designs will be decided by the workshop group to best fit the interests of those students. This final piece may take the form of worksheets, posters, handouts, and/or illustrations for presentations and each will be unique to the class cohort of students who participated.
Supplies: Each student will be provided with a kit that they will pick up from their school prior to the workshop dates. The kit will have a sketchpad, drawing pencils, pencil sharpener, and eraser. There will also be The Journey of a Stem Cell created by the VISTA Center and a VISTA Center mask lanyard. No additional supplies are required.
