Paddling Log (Ongoing)

In my work as an educator, I am experimenting with ways to encourage young people to interact with and form memories in the natural environment. In this journal, I map and reflect on kayak journeys around my home: the goal is to increase memory/retention of these trips by mapping and logging what I’ve seen, to help my observational skills in the moment, and to develop my observational drawing skills back home in the studio. My goal is that students will use this project in similar ways as part of a year-long social sciences course on human geography and climate change studies.
