Discover nature with brushes, paint, and microscope
In the autumn holiday program of the Ernst Abbe Library Jena, children combine creative watercolor painting with exciting insights into the world of botany. The four-day workshop is aimed at children aged 10 and above and invites them to a special learning experience in the workshop.
Colorful natural motifs are created
Under the guidance of Eva Schimek, the young participants will learn various watercolor painting techniques. Leaves, plant structures, and other natural motifs will be carefully observed and then artistically implemented. This results in their own pictures, where imagination, concentration, and joy in creation come together.
Wonder with the microscope
A special component of the family experience is the examination of natural objects under the microscope. The children will experience how familiar plants reveal entirely new shapes and details under magnification. This connection of observation, knowledge of nature, and art fosters curiosity, keen observation, and an age-appropriate learning experience.
Creative development in a protected environment
The workshop offers a child-friendly space where children can try out their own ideas and develop them step by step. Watercolor painting strengthens fine motor skills, perseverance, and personal expression. With the provided materials, participants can fully concentrate on their pictures and the shared time together.
Important information for families
The course begins on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 10:00 AM and takes place in the workshop of the Ernst Abbe Library Jena. Participation is free, and pre-registration was required. The course is already fully booked. The event is accessible and intended for children aged 10 and over.
