    Insects make up the larges classification of animals on our planet. Though small in stature and misunderstood by many, they are an integral part of the web of life; life as we know it could not exist without them. The Morris Arboretum is bringing the importance of insects to the forefront and displaying them in enormous proportions with the work of Dave Rogers’ Big Bugs exhibit this spring. In this four-week art series, we will take inspiration from the beauty of the Arboretum and this monumental exhibit. We will learn about different cultures with their myths and reverence for the insect world. Each week we will draw on location. We will visit the Big Bugs sculptures, the pollinator’s garden, or other magical locations at the Arboretum. Then, filled with inspiration we will go back to the classroom to paint, create sculptures,
