Nature Journaling
Get children involved in a hands-on, outdoor learning experience where students develop the creative skills needed to observe and sketch the aquatic, bird and animal life which live in and around Herdsman Lake. We start with a quick lesson on the fundamentals of art, and how to realistically draw what we actually see versus how we think things should look. The students will practice their observational and recording skills using pinned insect specimens inside the classroom, labelling their drawings skills as they go.

Further Infomation
At the completion of the session, students can add final details to their journaling using simple research then participate in a ‘gallery walk’ of each other’s work. Groups are welcome to use facilities for self-guided activities up to 30mins before or after scheduled sessions. Learn about fundamentals of art (line, shape, colour, tone and texture) and practiced various kinds of mark making.
