Participants of Nature Journal  2  will meet each week in the online classroom for learning, direction, sharing, and inspiration. Participants will choose between a variety of assignments between classes to complete their assignments each week and then share journals in class each week.  

Week 1 Review, Renew and Launch
In our first week, we will touch on the solid nature journal tools ( learned in NJB 1) and talk about how to go deeper with those. Then we will move into the curiosity framework to help you really dig deep in your thinking.   Motivations and Inspirations will be renewed and will be launched into making our nature journals our own. 

Week 2:  Photography and Collections 
Let's explore a few tips for getting great nature photos and how to use them in your journal.   Then we will talk about collections and lists that work great in a nature journal and give them a try!

Week 3 Zoom Out- Landscapes & Color 
Let's "Zoom Out" and talk about how to do quick landscape drawings in the field. Then have fun as we explore color pencil and water color pencil application.

Week 4 Zoom In- Close-Up Sketching & Thinking by Analogy
Now it is time to " Zoom In", and use a magnifying glass to observe nature, do some sketching of those small targets. We will jump into using our imagination and stretch our thinking by analogy

Week 5 Water Color Resist & Beyond
You will learn watercolor paint application and how to use it in the field. Then enjoy putting your knowledge to use with a watercolor resist project for your journal.  We will wrap up the class with some ideas on how to keep yourself inspired and journaling nature!

 Please come ready to get started in your nature journal. (see listing of supplies)

Please note the Minimum Participant Policy:
 I need at least 5 paid participants to run this class, especially because we share so much! 
So, please tell your friends! If you invite someone to take this class that is new to Outschool you will get a $20 credit for any class and so do they! (Ask me for details)

If the times listed don't work for you please feel free to suggest some times & dates. 
OR If you need to miss some classes I can send you the recordings so it can be a sort of "flex" class for you with a live option. I am happy to put together a special class for groups of friends or co-ops with special pricing.
