“The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” (W.B. Yeats) All around us is the wider world—nature—that often goes unseen and unheard. Awaken curiosity and explore your journey in nature through art and words. Using cloth-bound journals and a variety of media and subjects focused on both the biological and artistic sides, you will create beauty as seen through your eyes. Various found objects—and please bring your own finds—will be used for contour drawing, cyanotypes, marbleizing, prints, sketches, poems, and other media. Plan to venture outdoors for a portion of the time as weather permits and wear comfortable shoes! Ages 17+ are welcome. A materials fee of $20 is payable to the instructor at the first class. Parent Teacher Conferences are the first week in October, so we may miss class on 10/6. Limit 10 students.
