Take time for a summer art experience in nature at the beautiful Greensprings Natural Cemetery Preserve. Over the first four sessions you will be invited to observe and sketch outside -leaves, trees, clouds-from the minute to the majestic, along with gentle prompts by Angela Mennito to deepend the inquiry into our relation to death. No need to know how to draw or write to participate. But you might just discover that you could all along. For the fifth session we will share some of our creations, if so moved, and reflect on what our time spent in this place brought up for each of us.
