Discover fossils with a pencil and sketchbook!
When you draw, you really look closely! “Nature journaling” is all about your own perspective on nature—filling sketchbooks with pictures, words, numbers, and natural materials. Try out this creative technique in a workshop with Yvonne Strunkeit!
At the excavation site, you’ll explore which fossils have been discovered in Chemnitz. Or would you like to know what tools are used for this? What do the colors of the soil layers tell us about the Petrified Forest? Or how are plant impressions formed? You decide for yourself—fold and design your own little journal!
