LIVING LABORATORY ARTS (LAB-ART)

Art Meets Science: Living LabArt Experiences for Teens

Our sessions give teens a hands-on introduction to scientific observation while exploring the science of biology: Primary fields observed for LabArt: botany, zoology, ecology…
Perfect as a standalone experience or paired with Living Laboratory Field-Studies, these workshops are aligned with the V9 Curriculum and reporting support.

What Teens Do:

• Engage in 5–40 investigations per field, botany, zoology, ecosystems…
• Learn to use the “one pencil” in field method
• Learn to use three versatile art mediums, understanding how and why each medium is used and how they capture different details.
• Apply scientific labelling techniques, a real-world approach to accurately record and present discoveries and observations.
• Transform observations into mini-canvas and field-study observational drawing, building a tangible, exhibit-worthy collection.

Process

• Workshop times: Allow 2 hours per session (often worked in with field study times)
• Costs: include material supplies
• Some pieces may be held by the instructor until finished (this relates to curing etc times)

Why It Works:

• Reinforces science skills, including observation, analysis, and documentation.
• Supports curriculum-linked learning and reporting for HEU.
• Encourages creativity and critical thinking, blending art with scientific inquiry.
• Flexible: works standalone or alongside Living Laboratory Field-Study Sessions.
• Reporting support for V9
