Each day we will have a special guest speaker for the first 1/2 hour to an hour.  Each guest will introduce us to a particular topic on which we will base that day's art lesson and project.  This format of integrated learning keeps academic knowledge fresh while promoting creativity and artistic expression.  Guest lecturers or presenters may bring a variety of natural resources, plants, insects, animals, etc. so that there will be hands-on learning from both the science and art perspective.

Children's art instructor, Jessica Morrison, will develop a unique art lesson and project based on each day's science topic.  Jessica has a B.S. in Education with an Emphasis in Fine Arts.  She is 2011 graduate of Northern Arizona University and has extensive background teaching young children in an academic setting and as a U.S. Peace Corps Education Specialist. 

An art lesson will be paired with each topic -

• June 17: PREHISTORIC FORESTS AND ANIMALS
  • Let's travel into the past with FarWest Lapidary & Gem Society member Don Innes and find out about prehistoric forests and animals!
• June 24: TREES OF THE SOUTH COAST
  • There is way more to our impressive trees of the south coast than meets the eye.  Come find out what Assistant Professor and OSU Extension Forester Tristan Huff has to say about this exciting topic.
• July 1: EELGRASS
  • It's all about eelgrass today!  Megan Joyce, South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve's AmeriCorps member, will be speaking to us about the diverse group of organisms living in the eelgrass.
• July 8: HORTICULTURE
  • Liv Drahos from Fat Dog Farm will share some really cool things about horticulture and there might even be "a sprout or two, just for you"!
• July 15: WESTERN SNOWY PLOVER
  • Our special guest today will be BLM Park Ranger Sarah Schapira who will be speaking about the Western Snowy Plover.
• July 22: FISH ADAPTATIONS
  • ODFW's District Fish Biologist Mike Gray will be presenting today's topic "Fish Adaptations." Prepare to be amazed by the incredible and sometimes truly 'weird' evolutionary adaptations that fish have in order to survive.
• July 29: PLASTICS IN THE OCEAN
  • Annie Pollard of Surfrider Foundation's Coos Bay Chapter will provide insight into the complexities of plastics and their impact on the ocean.
• August 5: IT'S A MYSTERY!
