Journey to the coldest places on Earth as we blend science and art in this immersive polar-themed series. Students will explore the unique wildlife, extreme environments, and rich history of human exploration in both the Arctic and Antarctic. Through guided lessons and creative projects, we’ll transform scientific observation into expressive artwork. Each week focuses on a new aspect of polar life—from detailed wildlife illustrations of penguins, seals, whales, and arctic foxes, to icy landscape paintings inspired by glaciers, auroras, and drifting ice floes. This theme encourages curiosity, adventure, and careful observation, making it perfect for students who love nature, animals, and scientific discovery as much as they love creative expression.
