Join us for Intro to Nature Journaling with artist and educator Michelle Antonisse. Learn how scientists and artists have used illustrative and descriptive journaling to explore the natural world. We will start with the history, uses, and many styles of this practice. Then, we will venture outside for a guided journaling session where we will deepen our relationship to plants in the garden through conversation, reflection, sketching, and writing. Suggested list of supplies will be provided with the confirmation email.
This program is generously funded, in part, by Perenchio Foundation.
About the Instructor: Michelle Antonisse is a Los Angeles-based artist and educator, and current Manager of Teen & School Programs at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA). She also runs experimental environmental education workshops under the name “Into the Field,” where learners explore concepts of botany and ecology through conversation, close looking, creative writing and arts-based exercises. She recently published a reflective workbook titled “Out of the Field." Visit her website at www.michelleantonisse.com
