Pigment Picassos

Our activity will give children (and adults!) of all ages the opportunity to explore the pigments that exist in plants/fruits/vegetables and give life color. We will have specific activities that will allow the kids to explore the chemical/biological properties of pigments, learn where they came from, and paint with the pigments. Particpants also will have an opportunity to contribute to a group art piece.
