Tohono Chul @ Home: Shapes
We use shape to help us identify objects in the natural world.
The characteristic shape of a cardinal, upright and crowned by a crest; or the nail imprints of a coyote track that helps set it apart from that of a bobcat; or the bipinnate leaves of a mesquite versus the simple leaves of an Emory oak. Come explore the world of shape, the world of nature, with us.
Day 1 – The Origin of Shapes
Day 2 – Identifying Shapes In Nature
Learn The Art of Zentangle
Day 3 – Artistic Expression
Day 4 – Artistic Interpretation
A conversation with artist Lex Gjurasic and James Schaub, Tohono Chul Curator of Exhibitions
Let’s play “concentration!”
If you just get a fleeting look, can you match the shape to the bird?
Chart of different animals’ tracks: Coyote, Bobcat, Javelina, Jackrabbit, Packrat, Gambel’s Quail, Gecko, Roadrunner
