Field Studies: Bird Illustration with Chesterton Art Center
June 27 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am CDT
Shirley Heinze Land Trust and the Chesterton Art Center are collaborating to offer Field Studies, a program that connects nature + creativity. Begin the day outdoors at the Keith Walner Nature Preserve, where participants will observe local birds on a 1.7 mile guided hike led by Shirley Heinze staff member, Bella Santana.
Following the hike, participants will head to the Chesterton Art Center for a bird illustration workshop. Over the course of the 90 minute workshop, local artist Jen Aitchison will guide participants as they observe, sketch, and stylize avian forms while experimenting with line, texture, and color to create beautiful bird illustrations.
- Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
- In the event of extreme weather, the workshop portion will still be offered.
- Please dress for comfort and mobility.
- The class fees support the Art Center and cover the instructor and materials costs.
- Registration is required on the Chesterton Art Center website. Register online here.
