Nature is good for our health! It gives us a peaceful, joyful feeling, and fosters our sense of wonder. We will draw on nature, literally- through environmental art, and figuratively, as we spend time in nature using all of our senses to create art in response to our explorations. This mixed media class includes, but is not limited to drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, collage, and photography. Spending time in nature reduces anxiety and helps us feel relaxed and focused. Let’s reconnect with nature and enjoy the CAC gardens. This course is for everyone who wants to develop art skills, as well as those who wish to explore new processes and techniques for personal expression. Take this class for fun. Take it to learn something new. Take it to reconnect with your true nature!
