Event
Creativity Walk on Wawarsing Turnpike and Jenny Lane at Minnewaska
Sunday, August 18, 2024 09:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Bring along a sketchbook and any art materials you feel comfortable carrying for a four-and-a-half mile hike along some of Minnewaska's lesser known footpaths with Josh Grosse, Student Conservation Association/AmeriCorps Environmental Educator. Along the way, we will discuss notable artists, photographers, and writers who have been inspired by the Shawangunk Ridge's myriad beauties and wonders. The scenic trails we'll follow include remnants of an abandoned highway, a babbling stream crossing, and impressive walls of vegetation—all of which will provide plenty of imaginative inspiration. We will talk about basic artistic concepts like composition and color theory and do a practice exercise or two to gain hands-on experience with these principles. Art materials including watercolors, oil pastels, and colored pencils will be provided by Minnewaska, as well as optional prompts for writing and illustrating. Meet at the Lower Parking Lot. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor Center at 845-255-0752.
