November 19, 2020 | Online Workshop Hosted on Zoom
Instructor: John Muir Laws
Host and tech coordinator: Roseann Hanson
I’m please to be organizing a suite of four online workshops as part of the fall programming for the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill in Tucson, one of North America’s oldest field stations and the birthplace of the study of ecology. I’ll be teaching an introduction to nature journaling (see October 23-35).
Learn the art of sketching our desert reptiles while studying their physiology and natural history.
John Muir "Jack" Laws is one of the world's most widely known teachers of nature journaling. His approach emphasizes the growth mindset—that anyone can learn to draw and sketch in their field notebooks and journals—while he imparts not only sketching tips and tools but also an infectious joy in nature and its creatures.
We'll host a video stream of live reptiles with Tumamoc's Robert Villa, who is also president of the Tucson Herpetological Society. Beto will introduce you to a rosy boa, a desert tortoise, and a Gila monster who will model while you learn to sketch.
Format:
On the Zoom web platform, Jack will begin the class at 4 pm and teach through a combination so demonstrations and lectures.
Times are all Arizona time zone:
Thursday:
4 pm - 6 pm — live instruction / demos on Zoom with a Q&A as well.
