What to Expect
What gives plants and animals their colors? Find out by extracting pigments from a variety of plants, then mix them to make custom water colors. Get creative and paint your own artwork. We will go for a hike and look for pigments in nature while we wait for our paintings to dry. We will explore the following topics: pigments in plants and animals, traditional techniques for paint making, chlorophyll and its uses, pH and chemical reactions, the scientific method, and observations in nature.
