Art in Nature Programs
Do you feel inspired by nature? Channel that inspiration through these upcoming art workshops that can help you understand our environment, gain a closer connection to the natural world, and learn new creative skills. We will be offering two workshops: one on Nature Journaling, and another on Cyanotype Printmaking, both taking place on Preserve Lands at Sundance. These workshops are open to all skill levels!
Nature Journaling Workshop at Elk Meadows
Join our guide Zach Nielsen for an immersive experience that combines hiking, natural observation, and artistic expression. This workshop is designed to deepen your connection with our local environment while developing skills in nature journaling.
What to Expect:
A scenic hike to Elk Meadows with opportunities to observe and sketch local flora and fauna
Education about observational skills that lead to a more informative journal (look, listen, feel, smell, details about shape of stem, how many points on a leaf, etc.)
Education surrounding drawing skills that will lead to a more accurate representation of their natural subject (gesture, quick shading, pen & ink-crosshatch vs pointillism, scale, measuring proportions, contrast, simulating texture, etc)
Plant identification featuring native species and invasive plants
Small group learning environment
What to Bring:
Your own nature journal or sketchbook
Drawing utensils (pencils, pens, colored pencils - whatever you prefer)
Water and weather-appropriate clothing for hiking
Cost: $20 per person
