The Art of Noticing: a Sketchbook Practice is an outdoor art class for adults of all skill levels, focused on reconnecting with nature through mindful observation and playful sketchbook exploration. Set in the park and rooted in curiosity rather than technique, each session invites participants to slow down, notice their surroundings and respond with marks, lines, textures and simple drawings. Using a variety of prompts and natural materials, we’ll embrace imperfection, focus on truly seeing what’s around us—pausing to observe what might otherwise go unnoticed—and enjoy the quiet pleasure of putting pen to paper. This is a space for reflection, creativity and presence—more about the process than the product.
