Workshops & Classes

Children's Art Class- Doodle Bugs

Designed for children ages 5 to 9, this class focuses on two-dimensional materials and beginner drawing skills while introducing young artists to notable creators and major art movements. Students build confidence incrementally, using playful doodling and guided exercises to strengthen technique. Monthly themes shape the projects. January centers on space, with activities like watercolor nebula effects using salt, marbled star patterns, imaginative alien posters, and pastel planet studies. February moves under the sea through paper-collage ocean scenes, floating jellyfish sculptures, shell-based creations, and fish made with stamps. March explores the world of dreams with cloud paintings, heat-melt experiments, humorous face collages, and quirky creature artworks. April blossoms with paper flowers and mobiles, paintings inspired by Monet’s water lilies, observational studies of real blooms, and pop-up bouquets. May turns to pattern and design through collage scavenger hunts, a custom set of patterned cards, poster layout practice, and simple flip books that make dots appear to grow. Monday sessions are intentionally priced a bit lower. Many teacher work days fall on Mondays, so regular classes may pause for camps held during school breaks, and the reduced rate helps balance those missed days.

Requiem for a Giant: The Megalodon - Public Lecture

Paleontologist Dr. Robert W. Boessenecker of the University of California Museum of Paleontology presents a deep dive into the fate of Carcharocles megalodon. Drawing on fossils found in late Cenozoic deposits on nearly every continent except Antarctica, the talk reviews what teeth, vertebrae, and a handful of scales reveal about this enormous shark. Myths of survival and big-screen stories are set aside in favor of evidence that helps pinpoint when the species disappeared. The lecture highlights recent advances in understanding how megalodon evolved, how it lived, and how its extinction unfolded. It also considers how the loss of such a giant carnivore influenced the development of today’s marine ecosystems and what that perspective can tell us about the challenges facing modern ocean life.
