Art and Science Exhibit on Maui

An important prompt in nature journaling is to “zoom in”—to take a closer look at something in nature, either by moving in close or using a magnifying lens. Teaching artist Maggie Sutrov recently brought this idea to life at Maui High School, helping students connect their marine science studies with creative self-expression. Their work came together in a beautiful art exhibit at the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary Visitor Center in Kīhei.

Hopefully her work inspires you to do something similar in your classroom! Read more details about her work and see more photos at the links below:
