Explore how art, nature, and imagination come together as you create your own glowing insect artwork, inspired by contemporary artist Jennifer Angus. Canadian-born Angus is known for her extraordinary installations made from real insects, arranged in beautiful, symmetrical patterns. Her work invites us to look more closely at the natural world: to see beauty, order, and even a hint of mystery in unexpected places.In this project, you’ll explore these ideas using papers, colour, and light. By folding, layering, and arranging, you’ll discover how symmetry and pattern can mirror the structures found in nature. When you shine a light through your insect, it will glow with colour and detail, which is a reminder of how art can transform the smallest forms of life into something truly extraordinary!
