Start a family tradition that will entice kids away from the world of Webkinz and TV screens, and into the world of imagination – all without going further than your own back yard!
We will be offering a FREE demo for parents interested in helping their kids start art/nature journals. Andrai Whitted, local artist and the father of three, will share creative ideas and techniques that will help you begin nature journaling with your family.
Learn about nature printing, stamp carving/ letterboxing, simple sketching techniques, animal and bug observation and identification
and more.
After the demo, stay to decorate the cover of a field sketchbook for your kids or family to get started (purchase of sketchbook necessary).
There are also lots of ideas in the book “ KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL” by Clare Walker Leslie.
KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL
Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You
Keeping a Nature Journal has struck a profound chord among professional, casual, and occasional naturalists of all ages. In response to this groundswell of enthusiasm, we have revised KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL, updated the interior design, and created a new cover. Undoubtedly the most exciting new element in this second edition is a portfolio of 32 illustrated pages from Clare Walker Leslie’s most recent journals, reproduced in full color.
What makes KEEPING A NATURE JOURNAL so popular? It is inspiring and easy to use. Clare and co-author Charles Chuck E. Roth offer simple techniques to give first-time journal-keepers the confidence to go outside, observe the natural world, and sketch and write about what they see. At the same time, they motivate long-time journal-keepers to hone their powers of observation as they immerse themselves in the mysteries of the natural world. Clare and Chuck stress that the journal is a personal record of daily experience and the world around us. Nature’s beauty can be observed everywhere, whether in the city, suburbs, or country
