Fall Into Nature Journaling
Join natural science illustrator Sandy McDermott as she introduces students to the art of creating nature journals.
Drawing from nature is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to discover the plants and animals around you. There is crossover value for everyone: practice drawing from life; hone observation skills; deepen knowledge of the natural world. With simple sketching techniques we can develop our ability to really see the details of what is going on around us.
Join natural science illustrator Sandy McDermott, as she introduces students to the art of creating nature journals, with an emphasis on using drawing as a tool for observation. The session integrates science, writing, and drawing with the goal of helping students to observe and connect with the natural world immediately around them. The intention is for students to continue to use nature journals as part of their regular curricula and daily lives as learners. No drawing experience is necessary.
