Wild in the City: Drawing, Nature, and Knowledge
Wednesday July 11, 10:00am-5:00pm
At the Stanley Park Ecology Society
Registration Number (CRN): 60838
$100
Early natural historians explored their immediate world by not only collecting specimens, but also through careful observation and drawing. This workshop explores the practice of drawing as observation and “deep engagement” with our environment, nurturing valuable connection with and knowledge of the wild in the city. We also consider drawing as research method. Offered in partnership with the Stanley Park Ecology Society.
