Day 1 – Observe, Imagine, Communicate

A day of exploration and discovery.

• Observe: See Nature Differently — Forms, Textures, Light, Sounds, Materials
• Imagine: Transform What You See — Invent, Reimagine, Create
• Communicate: Give Meaning to Your Process — An Idea, an Emotion, a Message

This first day will be devoted to on-site exploration. You will have the opportunity to make sketches, take photographs, and record notes.

At the end of the day, a sharing session will provide an opportunity to present your discoveries and creative intentions in a spirit of exchange.
