Examine ways to share the natural world with your students through nature journaling. Special guest and local artist Bess Taylor will join us for the day to share her enthusiasm and inspiration for art in the outdoors. We’ll practice various journaling techniques as we explore plants and animals that can be found in most backyards, schoolyards, or local parks. Discover cross-curricular connections through activities that can be used in virtual and in-person classrooms.
Participants will receive a variety of nature journaling supplies. If you are traveling more than 40 miles (one way) to attend the workshop, you are eligible to be reimbursed for fuel costs.
