This 3-part seminar will be online and will explore the techniques of nature journaling. Learn how to observe the outdoors and capture what you see in your journal. This class is for beginners, but all levels are welcome to participate.
A nature journal is more than a collection of pretty sketches, it is a record of your experiences with the natural world. Learn how to use a nature journal to support your investigation and connection with the world around you, and build space to stop, look, and slow down with nature.
The class will meet virtually once a week for three weeks. Outside of class, participants will explore their new nature journaling skills. This class is focused on journaling, so while sketching and drawing can enrich these activities, no artistic abilities are needed.
