SUMMARY:Drawing & Painting from Photo References: Focus on Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intro to sketching and painting birds from images while learning about some of our local avian species. \nDrawing from life is often considered the ideal\, but capturing ever changing landscapes and moving subjects—especially birds—can be incredibly challenging. \nSketching and painting from photo references could sharpen your life drawing and nature journaling practice and be a fun way to create art from your own photos. \nCameras can oversaturate\, increase contrast and auto sharpen a color image; we will make our images our own by cropping\, editing and recreating lost colors and atmosphere. \nWe will introduce some of our local birds and discuss their unique characteristics and anatomy. We will then explain some of the tools artists have used for centuries\, such as Claude glass\, comparator mirror\, or camera lucida and then move on to transfer methods\, including the grid\, graphite transfer\, and device apps. We’ll touch on using watercolors\, color mixing\, and color matching. \nYou may use printed references or bring a tablet\, phone\, or laptop to practice the grid and graphite transfer method. \nMaterials Provided: \n\nPrinted bird images and magazines\n5″ x 7″ drawing paper\nPencils & pens\nRulers & straight edges\nTracing paper\nGraphite paper\nGraphite pencils\nDrafting & Washi tape\nWatercolor supplies\nWatercolor paper\nColor Wheel\n\nAs always\, please bring along your own favorite supplies if you have any! \nFree Registration required. \nChildren above 14 must be accompanied by a guardian. \nTaught by Monica Schroeder\, scientific illustrator & kayaker\nmonbertkayak@gmail.com \nMedical & Scientific Illustration\nIllustration Portfolio

SUMMARY:Drawing Landscapes: Pencil\, Ink\, Watercolor & Gouache - Techniques & Tips
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Earth Day at the Bushwick Inlet Park Community Center for an afternoon of sketching. \nBrooklyn will be gaining many new trees – you can even request a tree to plant yourself! Following a big push to plant many more street trees in the neighborhood\, we will focus this month on landscapes\, especially how to represent trees in their surroundings. After an introductory slide presentation\, we’ll practice techniques with a few exercises\, each focusing on a different aspect of a landscape: trees\, waterways\, the sky\, and clouds. \nWe’ll discuss principles such as focal point\, atmospheric perspective\, simplification\, using space in a composition\, and the importance of planning. We will practice recognizing shapes and scale\, mark making\, using thumbnail sketches for composition and light\, and choosing colors. Tips on putting together an outdoor art kit for drawing\, watercolor\, or gouache for those who would like to paint and draw outdoors will also be touched upon. Bring your own travel art kit if you’d like to share what tools work best for you. \nThen we will create pieces using some of these skills.

SUMMARY:Create a Phenology Wheel Artwork
DESCRIPTION:Join us to create a Phenology Wheel Artwork! \nAs we approach the winter solstice and the end of the year\, it is a great time to reflect on seasons and cycles. We will view examples of phenology wheels and discuss some local cycles in relation to our park\, from the evident flora and fauna changes to the more subtle such as the tides and aquatic life cycles. \nPhenology is the study of cycles or periodic events in nature. You’ll learn to set up a wheel and use it to create a visual record of different cycles such as moon phases\, weather\, temperature\, flower growth\, seasonal changes of leaves\, the tides\, bird migration\, animal life cycles\, or any other natural cycles and personal observations. \nFriends of Bushwick Inlet Park will provide art supplies\, but feel free to bring your own (if you have!) for this guided art project for beginners and artists of all levels. \nIf you’d like to bring your own\, we recommend: \n\npencil\ncolored pencils or watercolors\nruler\, compass\, and protractor\npaper appropriate for your pencils or watercolors\n\nThere will also be a template if you prefer to trace your wheel. There will be a good amount of working time for feedback and tips and techniques. \nNo experience necessary. *Registration required. \nTaught by Monica Schroeder\, scientific illustrator \n* Please register only if you plan to actually attend.

SUMMARY:Decomposition 101 Mycology Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As a follow-up to his FBIP webinar\, mycology educator Luke Sarrantonio (web – IG) will lead us through a hands-on workshop to discuss and demonstrate fungi’s role as decomposers.   Learn how to introduce mushroom mycelium (basically roots of the mushroom) and their many benefits in a garden. The fungus can break down wood chips to release nutrients for plants and produce mushrooms for years to come instead of adding other fertilizers.  Fungi are key players in the cycle of life\, why not work with them? \nMeet by the gardens just beyond the soccer field. \nIn the event of inclement weather\, we will be under the canopy atop of the park building green roof. \nFree registration required.

SUMMARY:Fungi and Plants: An Essential Romance
DESCRIPTION:Fungi and plants are ideal life partners\, there is evidence that they may have even facilitated each other’s move onto land over a billion years ago. Fungi take in oxygen\, releasing carbon dioxide\, while breaking down rock and organic matter to release nutrients essential for plants to grow. Plants recycle the carbon dioxide\, releasing oxygen\, while photosynthesizing to produce carbon sugars which they share with fungi so that both plants and fungi can flourish. There are a multitude of interesting relationships\, each of which is unique. Join us with educator Luke Sarrantonio as we peel back the curtain and take a peek at these amazing organisms and the fascinating connections they rely on to survive and thrive. Also\, learn about ways we can facilitate these relationships to influence the health of the ecosystems that we live in and gardens that we tend to. \nLuke Sarrantonio (website – instagram) grew up in a small rural town in the upper Hudson Valley/Catskill Region (about 2 hours north of NYC) and spent much of his childhood exploring the fascinating interwoven ecosystems that make up this unique natural landscape. In college at SUNY ESF he was blessed to work under some truly inspiring minds in the world of Life Sciences and Mycology (study of fungi). Following his passion through travels in the Pacific Northwest and work on a shiitake farm in the finger lakes region of New York\, he eventually landed back in the Hudson Valley. Currently he is working to develop education programming and mushroom based products under the name Mycophilic: for the love of Fungi. \nThis will be a Zoom meeting. Free registration required.
