Service Description
Year-long course of 24 weeks Meets online for an hour, weekly Take a hike into the woods and hear a poem about things you might see there! Then learn to draw those things! Trees, flowers, foxes, caterpillars and butterflies, and a rhino (what? you never know what you'll see!). You will finish the class with your very own nature journal! This class will focus on drawing techniques and skills. Every class will be like the next chapter in a story in which we go a little further into the woods and discover something new each week. A short, fun poem and great artwork will give us ideas for drawing the things we discover: maybe we will come upon "a host of golden daffodils", "dappled things", or, "a tree with a nest of robins in her hair." In addition to drawing, we'll learn to use color with, colored pencils, watercolors, or markers.
