About the Workshop
This workshop is an opportunity to experience meditative drawing, engaging with Donna Haraway’s concept of becoming-with. The plein air artist typically uses direct observation to draw or paint what they see. In this workshop, we will observe but also explore all our senses of cognition to connect in kinship with our surroundings. Through a series of meditative drawing exercises, participants will experience a deeper and fuller relationality of becoming-with the environment. Participants will also be introduced to the practice of nature journaling as a way to record their experiences. Ages 8+ with parent supervision.
