Here, artistic technique and the exquisite details of natural history intertwine, and drawing becomes the vehicle for seeing. As Laws writes, \"To draw feathers, you must understand how feathers grow, overlap, and insert into the body. To create the body, you must have an understanding of the bird's skeletal structure. To pose this skeleton, you must be able to perceive the energy, intention, and life of the bird.\" This how-to guide will perfect the technique of serious artists but also, perhaps more importantly, it will provide guidance for those who insist they can't draw. Leading the mind and hand through a series of detailed exercises, Laws delivers what he promises: that \"drawing birds opens you to the beauty of the world.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e''Best Bird Book Pick for the Holidays: perhaps the most visually stunning bird book of the year, an insanely beautiful and useful guide to not only drawing and painting but seeing birds.'' -- -- \"The Birdchaser\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"John (Jack) Muir Laws\" href=\"https:\/\/naturenurture.shop\/collections\/john-muir-laws\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn (Jack) Muir Laws\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a principal leader and innovator of the worldwide nature journaling movement.

This book puts together curriculum plans, advice, and in-the-field experience so that educators of all stripes can leap into journaling with their students. The approaches are designed to work in a range of ecosystems and settings, and are suitable for classroom teachers, outdoor educators, camp counselors, and homeschooling parents. Full-color illustrations and sample journal pages from notable naturalists show how to put each lesson into practice. Field-tested by over a hundred educators, this book includes dozens of activities that easily support the Common Core and the Next Generation Science Standards--and, just as important, it will show kids and mentors alike how to recognize the wonder and intrigue in their midst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Imagine if every teacher taught nature journaling, every student spent enough time outside to fill a journal each year, and our kids were becoming writers, artists, and scientists all at once.

Swinburne chooses a four-footed creature for each example: a giraffe's eye, an African wild dog's ear, a buffalo's nose, squirrel hands, leopard paws, the texture of a snake, and the pattern of a Scottish wildcat. In the same way, she walks readers through the steps of ten full portraits, from the exotic red panda and cheetah to the domestic short-haired cat and lop-eared bunny. Nearly the same process guides each drawing: outline, background, unusual features, eyes, shading, depth, and final touches like tone and impact. An almost hand-holding course in capturing animal portraits that are so lifelike it'll be difficult to understand why no one can hear or smell them.

She received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Art Education (and she minored in English). She has always loved nature and being outdoors. She especially loves gardening and hiking, and over time, began sketching the objects she discovered outside. She bought a bird feeder, and she was charmed by the many visitors. That one bird feeder grew to two, four, and now about eight--along with multiple bird baths! As she immersed herself in bird watching, she started fine-tuning her garden by introducing native plants that benefited birds and other wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy day, Jenny has taught art at the middle-school level for 16 years. Each year, she includes an art lesson and project based on the famous prints of John James Audubon. Jenny emulated this work at home, and she began painting her backyard finds, everything from leaves and flowers to birds. This soon became one of her favorite pastimes. She loves observing, and she found herself constantly learning more about the subjects of her paintings. To record those discoveries, she started taking notes about her observations. That process led naturally to this sketchbook, her debut book. She has also continued her own artistic interests in commissioned work and personal topics. She primarily works in watercolor, but she also enjoys oils, ceramics, and graphite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists are professional observers, who tend to see things in a different way, by focusing on colors and shapes, textures or lines. But a person doesn't need to be a professionally trained artist to observe like one, or to make their own art. In fact, if this project has taught Jenny anything, it's that naturalists are a lot like artists in that they look more closely at the world and recognize all of the diversity that nature has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJenny lives in the country with her husband, two small boys, a dog, five cats, a hedgehog, chickens, and occasionally two ponies. She spends most of her summers at a rustic log cabin on a lake in northern Michigan, where she hikes, fishes, and enjoys the natural beauty of the area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdventure Publications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePub Date: June 14, 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e0.79\" H x 9.53\" L x 7.24\" W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e144 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AdventureKEEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42623527059642,"sku":"9781647552251","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/2213\/5968\/files\/81tumh3l1rL._SL1500.jpg?v=1694876938"},{"product_id":"the-three-bears-a-folk-tale-classic-by-paul-galdone","title":"The Three Bears: A Folk Tale Classic by Paul Galdone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis familiar nursery tale features a warmly appealing bear family and a naughty, gap-toothed Goldilocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Four to six-year-olds are sure to enjoy Paul Galdone's interpretation, and they should gain good visual concepts of size and of right to left from the delightful pictures and the use of various type sizes.\" -- \u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Galdone\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1907 and emigrated to the United States in 1928.

She received her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Art Education (and she minored in English). She has always loved nature and being outdoors. She especially loves gardening and hiking and, over time, began sketching the objects she discovered outside. She bought a bird feeder, and she was charmed by the many visitors. That one bird feeder grew to two, four, and now about eight--along with multiple bird baths! As she immersed herself in bird watching, she started fine-tuning her garden by introducing native plants that benefited birds and other wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy day, Jenny has taught art at the middle-school level for 16 years. Each year, she includes an art lesson and project based on the famous prints of John James Audubon. Jenny emulated this work at home, and she began painting her backyard finds, everything from leaves and flowers to birds. This soon became one of her favorite pastimes. She loves observing, and she found herself constantly learning more about the subjects of her paintings. To record those discoveries, she started taking notes about her observations. That process led naturally to her debut book,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDrawn to Birds\u003c\/i\u003e.

But a person doesn't need to be a professionally trained artist to observe like one, or to make their own art. In fact, if her book projects have taught Jenny anything, it's that naturalists are a lot like artists in that they look more closely at the world and recognize all of the diversity that nature has to offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJenny lives in the country with her husband, two small boys, a dog, five cats, a hedgehog, chickens, and occasionally two ponies.
