Sea & Sage Audobon Society
Art Meets Science is an environmental education program that combines art and science in a unique program for 4th grade elementary school children. During Art Meets Science programs, students can view The Irvine Museum's remarkable paintings to capture a glimpse of California's former landscape and share in the artist's reverence for nature.
Following their museum tour, students travel a short distance to visit The San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, where they can experience the incredible diversity and beauty of this wetland habitat and its inhabitants. While there, they learn to observe nature, recording thoughts and sketches in a personal journal, and creating a group eco-mural to take back to their school.
The Sea & Sage Audubon in Irvine at the San Joaquin Marsh encompasses 300 acres of coastal freshwater wetlands, the largest in Southern California and is an important habitat for resident and migratory birds and other wildlife.
The Art Meets Science program meets many of the visual arts and life science standards for the 4th grade.
