Creative Kids: Knowing Nature will engage students ages 11–13 with PEM’s current exhibition Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest and the interactive Art & Nature Center. Students will spend the week exploring themes of the natural world, trekking through the gardens and green spaces on PEM’s campus and making art, writing and creating multimedia works in response to their experiences. PEM teaching artists, staff and visiting artists will also engage students in the creation of an original group multimedia artwork titled Field Studies: Regeneration. The week culminates with a family showcase and reception on April 24.
