Are you intrigued by the many shapes, sizes, and colors of insects and spiders? Through sketching, we can learn more about the incredible diversity of these creatures. Join us to practice catching invertebrates and to take an up-close look at portraying their lives on paper. Drawing materials and bug catching supplies will be provided, or you are welcome to bring your own art supplies.
Sketching offers a fascinating window into nature’s beauty and diversity. In this series for adults, we will sharpen our observation skills with fun exercises to learn about proportions, shading, texture, and colors. Each session includes an exploration around the preserve and sketching along the trails or back in the program room. During winter or inclement weather, sketching will take place in the Interpretive Center.
All sketching materials are provided, including pencils, colored pencils, pens, and paper. You are welcome to bring your own supplies if you prefer. We encourage attending multiple monthly sessions to build your skills, but this is not required.
More Details: We will be exploring on moderate terrain around the edges of the field adjacent to the Arboretum Trail. This program is for ages 14+. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required.
