Art for Tots: The Art of Anna Atkins

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine 250 Thompsons Point Rd Portland, ME, 04102 United States (map)

Explore, create, and collaborate during this drop-in class for children 2-5 and their caregivers. Each week, experiment with the mediums and styles of both well-known and emerging artists. This week, we will experiment with sunprints as we focus on Anna Atkins, a botanist & illustrator from the mid 1800’s. Anna used cyanotypes to capture botanical imagery & published the very first book of photographs in 1843. Please plan for a messy but fun morning; aprons will be provided. Thank you to Hancock Lumber for their support of this program and CMTM's MakerSpace.

Included with Admission.

Art for Tots requires the caregiver and child/children to attend the session together.
