Astronomy Club: Patterns in Space

Ages:  5-10

Registration will open on October 23 2023 8:00 am

Sara Boccaccini Meadows is a British artist and illustrator who will be sharing a short presentation about her pattern and illustration work, along with her new book, Glow, a family guide to the Night Sky. Glow invites young readers to explore stars, planets, and other celestial bodies and learn how to spot them. In this workshop we will be looking at patterns in space which we will use to design our own solar system using pencils and watercolor paints.

Materials Provided: Watercolor paper, pencils, watercolor paint, brushes
