This multigenerational class introduces you to art journals, an excellent way to capture impressions of a place when you are traveling or even on a backyard nature walk.

Then it's time to create your own art journal pages based on a meaningful moment, a special place, or a natural or architectural wonder. Start by sketching in graphite and ink, and then learn some tips for applying watercolor paints to make your sketches come alive. You may even choose to add some written journaling to enhance your storytelling. Returning students may explore other mixed-media materials in addition to watercolor. Students ages 11 and up may register with a registered adult for this multigenerational class experience.
