Pigment Picassos
Children (and adults!) of all ages are invited to learn about the pigments that exist in plants/fruits/vegetables and give life color. We will have specific activities that will allow participants to explore the chemical/biological properties of pigments, learn where they came from, paint with pigments, and contribute to a group art piece. Folks can take home their art as well as a handout.
