Colors, Plants, and Wonder: Discover Botany Creatively
In the autumn holiday program of the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena, children aged 10 and above combine artistic creation with exciting nature observation. During the four-day watercolor course, colorful nature motifs will be created, while natural objects examined under the microscope provide new insights into the world of botany.
Watercolor Painting with All Senses
Brushes, water, and vibrant colors invite children to closely observe and creatively implement leaves, plant structures, and other nature motifs. The children will learn various watercolor painting techniques and gradually develop their own artistic expression. The necessary materials will be provided.
Exploring with the Microscope
The workshop becomes particularly exciting through the connection of art and natural science. By examining natural objects under the microscope, children sharpen their observation skills and discover details that remain hidden to the naked eye. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience that combines curiosity, creativity, and careful observation.
Child-Friendly, Focused, and Inspiring
The course is aimed at children aged 10 and above and takes place in the workshop of the Ernst-Abbe-Library. The manageable workshop structure allows for focused work, personal ideas, and shared discoveries. This creative family experience strengthens self-confidence, fine motor skills, and the joy of independent learning.
Important Notes for Families
The event is designed as a four-day course from October 13 to 16, 2026. Prior registration was required for participation. The course is already fully booked. The event takes place indoors and is designated as barrier-free. Admission is free.
