Paint the Collections: Entomology
Location
About
Join us for a hands-on creative experience inspired by the natural world! In this unique session, participants will get an up-close look at insect specimens from the New York State Museum’s collections and learn directly from State Entomologist Dr. Timothy McCabe. Discover the fascinating details of form, color, and structure before translating what you see into your own artwork.
After an engaging introduction to the specimens, artist and educator Audrea Din will guide a short demonstration on color mixing and shadow techniques to help bring your subjects to life. Then it’s your turn—experiment with watercolor and/or gouache as you create your own insect-inspired masterpiece. We’ll wrap up with a friendly group critique where participants can share their work, exchange ideas, and celebrate the creative process.
- All materials are provided—just bring your curiosity and creativity.
- Open to participants ages 13+.
