Spend
time in the beauty of the New England Botanic Garden savoring the wonder of spring flowers, meadows, woodlands, and gardens, and
creating art from your experiences. When you draw closer to nature through art
you also draw closer to yourself. You uncover an innate connectedness that is
part of being human and being creative.
“We
need to remember that we are all created creative and can invent new scenarios
as frequently as they are needed.” ? Maya Angelou
Engaging our various ways of knowing with, mind, body, and spirit,
and incorporating elements of forest bathing and expressive arts, you'll work
with simple materials and methods to reflect upon and create from what you are noticing
in nature and yourself.
Registration includes all supplies and tools for the
workshop. No previous art experience is necessary. All levels are welcome.
