Tumalo Week 1: Art

Week 1 - Art at Tumalo

A super up-close drawing of a leaf

   

    It is our first day out at Tumalo, and the nervous excitement rung through the air as we filed off the bus. Today was immersion day, a day to connect to this new place. Near the end of our day, we learned all new sorts of new drawing styles and techniques. Today, the purpose of our Art time was to learn to appreciate the small things in the wilderness. Today we focused on just a few drawing styles, such as shading and macro. Phoebe had us split up separately and we found a spot where we could see no one else, then we picked out something small to draw and drew it big and up-close (macro). She told us to start with shading the object so the shading made the shape instead of starting with an outline.

   In the end, everyone had a beautiful drawing that they had worked hard on and it was great to see a few people share their artwork.
