Still Space in Nature Sketch Programs at Kitimat Museum

There is still space available for Nature Sketch sessions on June 5th and 19th, for ages 13 to 18.

The sessions are FREE, with supplies included. This is an outdoor nature program that focuses on observing local ecosystems and sketching what you observe. Register at the Kitimat Museum & Archives today.

Sketching nature promotes knowledge, understanding, and connection to the environment, and the act itself is a mindful one: taking the time to stop, look and sketch can be a useful tool for managing anxiety and depression.

Nature Sketch, a Bateman Foundation initiative, aims to inspire appreciation of the natural world using a pencil and a sketchbook, offering a cultural lens for exploring the outdoors. You will learn about the wildlife and different habitats using established eco-literacy principles and sketching inspiration from world-renowned artist and naturalist Robert Bateman.

Museum Program – Nature Sketch

Kitimat Museum & Archives presents Nature Sketch. Nature Sketch is an outdoor nature program for youth that focuses on connecting them to their community eco-systems using a pencil and a sketchbook. Sessions include supplies and will be led by a local sketch artist and a naturalist.
Funded through the Robert Bateman Foundation, these no-cost programs will run in June, 2021, and be open to two age groups: kids ages 8 to 12, and youth ages 13 to 18. The program consists of two sessions of 1.5 hours each. Register by emailing the Kitimat Museum & Archives at info@kitimatmuseum.ca
“The Bateman Foundation was established in 2012 and is a national public charity that uses art to connect Canadians to nature, minimizing the increased levels of depression and anxiety caused by nature deprivation and the ever-increasing prevalence of screens in our lives.” John Bateman
