Something as beautiful and as fragile as a butterfly needs to be captured in art! Participants will learn how the monarch butterfly migrates to Mexico each fall, returning to Canada in the spring, and sometimes passing through Louisiana. They will create a butterfly using several art techniques, discuss art and science concepts that include animal life cycles, migration, and symmetry.
