Analyzing Art for Science: The Little Ice Age

January 18, 2025 @ 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Austin Gardens Environmental Education Center Main Room
167 Forest Avenue, Oak Park IL 60302

Unfreeze history! Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of the Little Ice Age, a period of global cooling that gripped much of the Earth from roughly 1350 to 1850. We'll use art as a lens to explore the "what" and "why" behind this climatic shift. By analyzing paintings and drawings from the era, you'll gain insights into the environmental changes people experienced and how they depicted these in their art. Engage in discussions, sharpen your critical thinking skills, and discover how art can serve as a valuable tool for scientific exploration.
