Art Science Walks

Art Science Walks

The daVinci art science walks are designed so that residents and the surrounding community will walk through their local community with an Urban Ecologist and Visual Artist discovering the overlooked nature and beauty that exists in the community. The participants will learn about the science around them while participating in the creation of a work of art that expresses what they are seeing.
The walks familiarize attendees with the nature, human-built environment, and basic art skills where they live, work, and play allowing time to observe art and nature throughout the experience.
