Perfect for beginners\, this class guides you through sculpting and modeling with expert instruction by Art de Cady DeLay . \nStart with a nature walk to observe local flora and fauna\, then apply your findings to create a 3D masterpiece. \nDon’t miss out—reserve your spot today: https://loom.ly/JlQNjJs \n\n\n\n\nScientific Illustration & Observation in Sculpture\nLove nature\, science\, and art but don’t know where to start? Here is your opportunity to master a new skill and bring home your own environmentally-inspired masterpiece after just one class. \nLearn the basics of sculpture and modeling with step-by-step instruction by a master scientific illustrator. After a nature walk to gain knowledge of local flora and fauna\, apply your observations to composition\, techniques\, color and design theory\, building layers\, mixing media\, creating a 3D model\, and more. This class is perfect for aspiring artists or creative nature lovers with no prior experience\, only a passion for the arts and sciences. Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop. \nLocation: Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History \n\nClass Size: Limited to 24 participants\, open to Ages 16+\, all experience levels\nClass Fee: Adults $34 | $5 Off for Museum Members\nMaterials: All supplies are included in class fee\nInstructor: Cady DeLay\n\n\nAbout the InstructorWhile originally from San Diego\, Cady moved to Monterey in 2022 to study and then pursue scientific illustration. Although her location has changed\, her passions remain constant: art and the ocean. Her work focuses on color and exaggerated detail to make the subject more recognizable\, accessible\, and fun! Recently\, she has focused more on 3D pieces\, starting with making a four-foot interactive model of a bottlenose dolphin to demonstrate how a dolphin’s body acclimates to diving. Cady has been an exhibiting artist in the Museum’s annual exhibit of science illustration\, The Art of Nature\, for the past two years. \n\n\n\nAccessibility and Logistics\n\nWear layers and be prepared to be out in the sun for part of the time.\nThis program will occur in the amphitheater behind the Museum. There is a ramp to get down to the amphitheater\, but at the end are steps.\nLeave your pets at home. Trained service animals are allowed.\nRestrooms and water fountain are available inside the Museum.

SUMMARY:Nature Journal Studio
DESCRIPTION:Nature Journal Studio\n2nd Wednesdaysof the month\,  6:30 – 8pm \nNature journaling can help us view the natural world with new perspectives\, learn about our surroundings\, and see the extraordinary in the ordinary.  During monthly Nature Journal Studio sessions at the Museum\, Melinda Nakagawa will guide you through a topic as we practice skills in a group setting and share our learning with others. We will develop observation skills and awareness of nature\, improve sketching skills\, and practice strategies to bring the 3-dimensional world onto the page. Rather than an art class\, nature journaling is about observation\, curiosity\, wonder\, and honing these abilities.\n\nFree with Admission Register\n\nSign-up for other Nature Journal Studio events.\n\n*Free for Members and Youth under 18 | $4 General | $2 Students and Seniors \n\nAbout Melinda Nakagawa\nMelinda Nakagawa is a biologist\, naturalist\, and educator with a passion and skill for connecting people to nature. She founded Spark in Nature to guide participants to cultivate a deeper relationship with the natural world\, slowing down to nature’s pace and seeing rather than just looking at the world.  With an approach that bridges nature\, art\, and heart\, she welcomes all people regardless of their skill level or background. Through her gentle guidance\, hundreds of participants have awakened their spark of curiosity\, sense of wonder\, and connection to the natural world.  Melinda has partnered with local institutions such as the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium and Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History to lead educator trainings on nature journaling. She leads the Monterey Bay Nature Journal Club’s free online Sunday sessions.  She has an M.S. degree in Marine Science\, and has also worked as a naturalist guide\, floral designer\, and wildlife rehabilitator. For the past two decades Melinda has kept nature journals and continues to learn more from nature with each journal she fills.\n
