Explore the connection between art and nature as you walk the peaceful and serene grounds of Lakewood, gathering natural foraged materials and arranging them into artistically inspired field guides.
In this informative and hands-on class, you’ll learn about the Elements and Principles of Art through a creative exploration of nature and nature art. Using the lens of a Wonderer, participants will approach flora through their senses, emotions, and imaginations. Through creating Field Guides participants will arrange elements of nature according to elements of art and photograph them.
No experience is required. All supplies will be provided.
This event is open to everyone, but registration is required!
