🌿 About the Program
This fall, take your nature study to the next level with our Advanced Nature Journaling class. Blending science, art, and observation, students will explore the spookier side of autumn ecology while building advanced journaling and watercolor techniques.
Each week introduces a new fall theme — from the hidden world of mushrooms to the web architecture of spiders, eerie plant pigments, the mysteries of decomposition, and the legends of haunted forests. Students will dive into the science behind these natural wonders, then bring them to life on paper through watercolor sketching, detailed journaling, and creative expression. Students will also learn how to use a digital microscope, collect and record data, and different watercolor techniques.
When:
Tuesdays at 1:00 PM
dates: 9/23, 9/30, 10/14, 10/28, 11/4
Where: Outdoors in our local wild spaces (location provided upon registration) Typically this is at Gorman Nature Center but due to their school field trip schedule we will have a few alternative locations including Flemming falls nature preserve and our family farm in Mansfield.
Who: Designed for ages 8+(parents must be on site but are also to observe or participate. Parents enjoy my classes just as much)
🍁 Class Structure
Each session balances science, exploration, and art:
1. Welcome & Mini-Lesson – advanced science topic of the week
2. Field Observation Walk – guided journaling and data collection outdoors
3. Art Technique Spotlight – watercolor washes, layering, texture, and detail
4. Journaling Workshop – combining scientific notes with artistic illustration
🌟 Why Join?
Perfect for budding scientists and artists who want a deeper experience
Teaches advanced observation skills + creative watercolor techniques
Focuses on blending scientific accuracy with artistic expression
Themes tie into the mysterious and magical side of fall for a spooky twist
I will provide a field journal and art journal for each child. along with communal art supplies however I do recommend that each child have their own travel watercolors and or water color pencils.
PRICE FOR THIS CLASS IS PER CHILD.
