A guided, nature-based art experience focused on reflection and conversation
For SSL hours, join us in the set up and facilitation for a free, interactive workshop that explores local nature through guided art making. You will help teach participants how to observe plants, landscapes, and everyday outdoor spaces, then transform these observations into simple, bold coloring-page designs.
Assist them in discovering native plants and animals, rain gardens, or neighborhood green spaces, and create unique line drawings that can be used as coloring pages or shared with others. Premade coloring pages will also be available for attendees who do not want to paint.
For students looking to earn SSL hours, you will be supporting the workshop facilitators in setting up, leading, and post workshop cleaning.
No prior art experience is required, and all materials are provided.
The program will take place at the Wheaton Library Multipurpose Room #132, accessible through the building lobby. Registration is required on the library events site and Eventbrite.
