Seeing and Sketching with Mitra Nikoo

Nature is amazing. There are so many things to see in the world around us, from big trees to little insects. But how can we better understand what it is we are seeing. 

Join us this week as science illustrator Mitra Nikoo shows us some of the ways to understand nature through sketching. We'll discover the tools that you can use when you are outside exploring, and then learn skills about how to sketch a specimen.

Bring along a shell if you can, or any other kind of natural history specimen you have (a bone or leaf for example). If you don't have a specimen at home, not a problem. Sketch along with what Mitra has.  

RBCM @ Home (Kids) is hosted by Chris O'Connor. This week will be guest hosted by Kim Gough.

What you'll need:

• Paper
• Something to draw with (pencils, markers, crayons, etc.)
• A shell or other some other kind of natural history specimen you have at home or can find in your neighbourhood
