The Art & Science of Nature Journaling for the Observant Writer
Writing in Nature Workshop by Peter C. Stone
|
In this day-long inquiry-, object-, and place-based workshop, we will be combining visual and literary disciplines, including journaling for daily living, and learn ways to foster a deepened sense of connection with the environments in which we live.
Along the shores of Apalachee Bay we will explore methods for cultivating inspiration; finding your story-finding your voice through several writing exercises; practice visual thinking strategies, including observing how we observe, intuition, inference, literal and visual expression, objectivity/subjectivity, and the language of symbolism in living systems. In conceiving and developing a new writing project, we will honor and delight the observer and writer in all of us.
What will be provided:
- Free copies of Peter C. Stone's book, The Untouchable Tree
What to bring:
- Pens or pencils and writing paper (suggested: lined)
- A journal (suggested: double wire spiral sketchbook, unlined white paper, 9" x 12")
- Drawing pen (suggested: Uni-ball 120 Micro Pen -Black)
- Lunch and something to drink-A hat, insect repellent, sunscreen, walking shoes, folding beach chair, and a wish!
Price:
