Adams, Lori	“Exploring Small – View the World Like an Artist, and Become a Visual Detective”	Media- Photography, Nature- Environment, Visual Arts- Other	This workshop challenges children to look at ordinary objects in different ways as an artist does. It encourages children to make their own discoveries about properties like color, light, form, texture, line and shading, and then how organizing and presenting this information can create artwork. I will use examples of my work as a fine artist using botanical specimens, and my work as a scientific and documentary photographer for non-fiction children’s science books to help students compare and contrast being an artist and being a scientist and to encourage them in both directions. Magnifying glasses, natural objects, mats/frames, sample journals, paper and colored pencils are distributed. Observations are discussed about natural objects, and the various ways they can be interpreted via sketches, and notes, artistically or scientifically. During the workshop photographs are made of objects with studio equipment that has been set up and the resulting photographs(s) are projected and participants will compare their sketches with the photographs. An email with images will be sent to each library. This workshop may also be booked as a series. If so, the participants receive handouts of how to photograph at home and bring in the objects and prints of their experiments.	$201- $350

Triops eggs and instructions will be provided to library staff 1 month prior, so the library can raise their own triops. Triops usually live 6-8 weeks. Books and triops eggs will be available for purchase.	$101- $200
