Artists often look to nature’s patterns and forms for inspiration. Students will visit the galleries to explore motifs from the natural world—such as leaves, flowers, and animal tracks—and learn how artists transform them into patterns and design. Using a variety of techniques, they’ll create prints, jewelry, and mixed-media artworks featuring their own nature-inspired patterns.

The Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, invites the public to explore art spanning eras and cultures. General museum admission is free, made possible by philanthropic support and membership. The collection features European and American painting and sculpture, modern and contemporary works, and art from ancient civilizations, presented across a historic landmark building and newer galleries and garden spaces. Throughout the year the museum hosts special exhibitions, tours, lectures, performances, camps, and family programs that connect visitors with artists and ideas. As a regional hub for learning and creativity, The Joslyn supports students, educators, and lifelong learners through accessible interpretation and community partnerships. When planning a visit, review exhibition and calendar pages for dates, hours, and any separately ticketed or registration-based programs, allow time to enjoy indoor and outdoor spaces, and check for accessibility services or large-print guides as needed. The museum’s mission is to bring people together through meaningful encounters with art.
