About This Activity
Spark your child’s natural curiosity and sense of wonder through outdoor art and discovery! In this hands-on class, young nature lovers will head outside to observe the world around them and record their discoveries in a personalized field journal. Through fun drawing activities and simple writing prompts, students will practice zooming in on tiny details—like a leaf’s texture or a beetle’s shell—and drawing the big picture. As artist and naturalist L.W. Funk famously said, “Those who enjoy nature will never be bored.” What Your Child Will Experience: Outdoor Discovery: Practice noticing details in nature and recording them right in the field. Art Mediums & Drawing: Build confidence with everyday tools like pencils, pens, colored pencils, and watercolors. Inspiring Explorers: Learn from famous nature artists and storytellers like Beatrix Potter, John Muir Laws, and Edith Holden, incorporating simple poems and field notes into their art. Lifelong Skills: Develop habits of focus, curiosity, and creative expression that stay with them for life!
