Ernst Haeckel artist research and analysis worksheet

A two page resource (can be photocopied back to back and laminated for repeated use) on the German scientist and artist Ernst Haeckel.

Can be used as a cover lesson during a relevant project (science in art, natural forms, zooming-in, symmetry, abstraction…), an extension activity, or as a whole class task. Students are asked to read the information about the artist then answer questions, create a mind-map of their ideas of what Haeckel’s forms remind them of, then create their own response based on his ‘Art Forms in Nature’ prints.

Designed to be easy to deploy and requires no additional resources. A fantastic resource to have on hand and relevant to so many projects!
