Animal Architects: Wish Nests

Join AGA Educator Kerri in our studio this summer and discover the creative habits and building behaviours of animals. Inspired by our children’s gallery exhibition Animal Architects, we’ll examine a new animal or insect each week to better understand how they make and build. Then, we’ll make an artwork inspired by nature’s artistry.

Gather up the listed supplies from around your home, review our prep list and meet us online on Saturdays at 10am! Register through Webinarjam.

In our first session, we’ll explore shape and form to create a nest inspired by Leaf Cutter Bees.

Materials Needed:

• Elastic bands or balloons
• 5 sheets of paper (construction paper, colourful printer paper, whatever you can find at home)
• Scissors
• Round objects like a glass, tape or yoghurt lid
• Crayons or markers
• A pencil

To Prep: Use your round objects to trace out circles on construction paper; cut out the circles with your scissors

Nests for the End of the World is presented as part of the Poole Centre of Design.
