Open to primary and secondary visual art and science teachers, these hands-on workshops give you the opportunity to work directly with microbiologist Dr. Gregory Crocetti and visual artist Briony Barr. Observe items under stereo microscopes and complete individual and collaborative drawings using a range of fun materials.

Students will use stereo microscopes to explore detailed structures through different levels of magnification, they will observe anything from skin cells to plant structures to butterfly wings.

Students will then be encouraged to complete individual and collaborative drawings using live projections from under the microscope.

 Creative Play in Construction Site includes an interactive guided tour of this incredible interactive exhibition followed by a hands-on art making activity. The art making activity will involve the manipulation of fun materials to design and construct a sculpture to take home.
