RBCM@Home Kids: Seeing and Sketching
The Royal BC Museum hosts the latest in a series of online workshops and demonstrations. This week science illustrator Mitra Nikoo shows us some ways to understand nature through sketching. Discover tools that you can use when you are outside exploring, and then learn skills about how to sketch a specimen. Bring your own specimen if you can (a shell, a bone, a leaf for example) but if not, Mitra will bring specimens for all to see. You’ll also need paper and something to draw with (pencils, markers, crayons, etc.).
