"Hey, I never noticed THAT before!"

You don’t need an art degree or special "talent" to keep a nature journal—all you need is a little bit of curiosity. In this beginner-friendly workshop, we explore the "three languages" of nature journaling: words, pictures, and numbers, and I notice... I wonder... It Reminds me of... prompts as ways to slow down and explore the natural world with curiosity and wonder. 

Hands-on drawing exercises to discover ways to queit busy brains through Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain 5-basic component skills of drawing, and John Muir Laws' writing and drawing prompts designed to get past the blank page and unlock your inner child.
