Connections Workshop: Plankton Properties

Our ocean waters teem with tiny microscopic life called plankton. Using recycled plastic, create a sculpture sparked by your exploration of the museum's Living Systems' plankton exhibits. Investigate concepts such as mobility, impact and diversity in your art. Leave with your own translucent sculpture and a newfound understanding of our San Francisco Bay.

Connections workshops use science to inspire you to create a piece of art. Begin by delving into a topic in science using museum exhibits and quick experiments. Pause to reflect on observations, personal associations, and reactions. Then it's your turn to respond by making art, be it conceptual, literal, or anywhere in between. Learn basic techniques for using an alternative art material, then let your creative engines roar. Led by an art educator, these workshops give you time to find a personal connection with science and enjoy creating a work of art. Connections adult art workshops are appropriate for all levels of science and art experience.

Pre-registration is required.
