Description
Sketching nature has many benefits. It enhances observation and learning, it deepens our connection with nature and it will help to boost memory as the process of sketching helps us to remember details, emotions and places better than a quick photo. It also helps us to create our artistic skills and encourages creativity.
John J. Audubon's Birds of America famous bird drawings were published in 1838 - nearly 200 years ago. For our first foray into sketching nature, our focus will not be on perfection but rather the process of observation.
Please join Corie and Ruth as we make our way over to a comfortable log where we will sit and choose something to sketch. All sketching materials will be provided and are yours to keep. Some artistic drawing guidance will be provided by Corie and possibly another guest.
Please bring the snacks, lunch, water, poles if you use them and of course all the things you require for a day hike - hat, sunscreen, bug spray, first aid kit etc.
If the Sketching Nature portion has to be cancelled due to a forecast of rain, we will hike but sketching will be postponed. Everyone will be notified.
This hike is open to a small group of 10.
