Birding and Collage Making

Jun 17, 2017 - Jun 17, 2017
Children's Museum of Pittsburgh
10 Children's Way
Allegheny Square
Pittsburgh , PA 15212

Join the Children's Museum in the Art Studio to make colorful bird collages with guest artist Ashley Cecil! You'll create collages inspired by the work of Charley Harper, and talk about artists who have made contributions to science and conservation! Plus you can do your part at home by hanging your collage in a window to help prevent birds from flying into the glass and potentially injuring themselves. Then venture outside for a birding expedition with the Audubon Society of Western Pa. Discover the brids that live around the museum using binoculars, and record your findings on eBird. Ashley Cecil is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based artist and illustrator specializing in paintings of flora and fauna that illustrate the interconnectedness between the natural world and its inhabitants. Learn more about Ashley's art practice here.The Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania offers programs for people of all ages to connect with nature in a way that will motivate them to become active and engaged in our natural world.
