Art Explorers classes at the Blue Ridge Discovery Center and William King Museum of Art  give emerging naturalists the opportunity to learn about and create wildlife art. Art Explorers classes combine art and biology through observation, teaching children about our local flora and fauna with hands-on creative activities. Participants will collect plant specimens and learn about identification and taxonomy then learn the science behind light-sensitive cyanotype printmaking and create multiple prints from plant specimens they collected!
