Three Saturdays in May: May 8, 15, and 22. 15 PDP Certificate in Art or Science. We are confronted with many things to look at every day, but true seeing requires an attentive frame of mind that is open to delight while welcoming the unexpected. As an artistic pursuit, learning to truly see promotes a deeper appreciation for the world around us while cultivating the deep importance of firsthand experience. The act of drawing calls us to consider the personal meaning of that which we take the time and energy to see. In this course, participants will engage in observational and contemplative drawing as they come to better know artifacts and life forms of the sea from both artistic and scientific perspectives. Participants will keep sketchbook journals and learn various means for portraying both the seen and the felt world.
