Focus:
Interpreting the Landscape – Through the Eyes of Birds
Overview:
Study the unique landscape through the viewpoint of birds. Day 1: Presentations
and mini-workshops on general bird anatomy and drawing specifications (taxidermy
and museum mounts of birds will be provided) and hints for working in the field. Day 2: Short intro on preparing interpretive sign approaches and
then field sketching of bird habitats with an emphasis on native plants
and bird needs for nesting, and food sources. Hopefully we’ll get some direct
observation and sketching of birds at Tryon Creek. Dividing into groups we’ll
sketch the various habitat types and work on a rough draft of interpretive signs
for those areas.
