Drawing on Nature

This education kit describes a range of art activities inspired by objects found in nature. It is designed to be a self-directed resource, but will also assist teachers and activity coordinators to conduct art programs based on a theme of natural objects.

The kit seeks to encourage and inspire people of all ages to engage with natural science and their local environment through art activities.Participants will be able to closely investigate specimens they gather themselves, and to explore a range of drawing techniques, including some used by scientists and scientific illustrators in museums.
