In this year-long series of art classes, we'll explore nature's rhythms across the four seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall.  Each class session focuses on observing and capturing seasonal changes in plants, animals and weather through drawing, watercolor and ink. Students will connect with the environment through hands-on activities, embracing the stillness of winter, renewal of spring, abundance of summer and transition of fall. Join us for one season or experience the full cycle. Each session offers a deeper appreciation of nature's constant transformations.  For supplies, we will use large drawing pads, pencils, pens and charcoal.
