Sketchnoting is the number one way to get more bang for your buck at the Wild Wonder Nature Journaling Conference.
Today’s Prompt: Sketchnote a class at Wild Wonder
How do I get started? All you have to do is start thinking of sketching as a language just like the written word. Once you start combining doodles and little drawings with your notes you are a sketchnoter! Luckily, many concepts from this amazing field have already been incorporated into nature journaling. The nature journaling community has had sketchnoters like Kate Rutter and MJ Broadbent in our ranks for years. John Muir Laws himself invited Kate to teach some workshops for him way back in 2016 on the topic. They have brought great ideas into our field. More recently, Mike Rohde, author of the Sketchnote Handbook has also participated. Below, you can see my interview with Mike.
Sketchnoting class at Wild Wonder?!
Maybe you feel like you need a class before you can start sketchnoting. If so, you are in luck. Because Kate Rutter is teaching one. Whether you are a total newbie or not this class will be great. From my experience, I can tell you that Kate always puts a lot of thought into her classes. This is one of the classes at the Wild Wonder Conference that will change how you see all the other classes. In fact, my only criticism is that this class is not a mandatory training before the event!
