This month: Spring Blooms

Spring blooms and flowering trees are popping up everywhere! For this month’s inspiration for Nature Journal Studio, we’ll be looking to flowers: their shapes, diversity, structures and growth patterns

Please bring your floral inspirations to explore and share! *** include the stem and leaves too!!

Ideas:
Cut flower bouquet from the farmer’s market
Flowers from your garden.
Branches of flowering trees ( for example: flowering plum)
If you flowers are on a shrub, bring a part of the branch too!
If you have flowers in different stages, include them! (Buds, open flowers, fading flowers, seed head)

Nature journaling can help us view the natural world with new perspectives, learn about our surroundings, and see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

During monthly Nature Journal Studio sessions inside the Museum, Melinda Nakagawa will guide you through a topic as we practice skills in a group setting and share our learning with others. We will develop observation skills and awareness of nature, improve sketching skills, and practice strategies to bring the 3-dimensional world onto the page. Rather than an art class, nature journaling is about observation, curiosity, wonder, and honing these abilities.
