Online Nature Journaling Class
Join me, Julie Brett, for an ongoing class about nature journaling. Nature Journaling is a practice of combining nature observation with art and contemplative journaling practices. This is a weekly, ongoing class where, over time, you will learn:
- How to notice the changes in the world around you through the seasons
- How to identify plant and animal species
- How to use watercolour and ink art techniques to create a vibrant art journal that documents your observations
- How to gather information over a year's work of journaling into a Wheel of the Year
- How to create an artwork for a wheel of the year
- How to deepen your understanding of your local wheel of the year through developing seasonal celebrations and rituals.
Come for a drop in class, or come every week to go deep into your connection with place. This practice only deepens and expands the more we explore it, hence this is an ongoing class, rather than a course with a set schedule.
