We had a wonderful time at our Osher Nature Journaling Workshop! The weather was lovely, the woods were full of life, and my participants were eager to get outside and explore.
We started the day indoors, talking about the process of nature journaling, trying out drawing activities.
Then we went outside to explore nature around the Raccoon Creek State Park Recreation Hall.
Participants sat in folding chairs, recorded observations...
... and sketched nature.
Some wrote poetry.
Others simply sketched with a pencil.
We returned to the Recreation Hall where we shared our discoveries...
...sketches ...
...and poetry.
Seeing and hearing everyone else's creative explorations uplifted and inspired me.
After lunch, we headed out on a nature walk through the woods to a Civilian Conservation Corp-built camp.
We each took time to sketch and record what we noticed.
We returned for a final wrap up and sharing session at the Recreation Hall.
Many thanks to David for his work setting up, lighting and photographing for our class, and to my participants for being great adventurers and exploring the topic of nature journaling with me!
Here are my sketches from the day.
I hope you're enjoying the summer and finding time to sketch!
