SUMMARY:Art in Nature: Creature Needs - An Art-Science Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Art in Nature Series is made possible by the Ronald D. Russo Fund and the Barrington Public Library. All programs are free and open to the public. \nLucy Spelman at TEDxProvidence. (Photo by Cat Laine) \nOur next Art in Nature program\, “Creature Needs – An Art-Science Workshop\,” features scientist Dr. Lucy Spelman and writer Susan Tacent from the Barrington-based non-profit Creature Conserve. This generative workshop on Saturday\, March 7\, from 1-3 pm at the Barrington Public Library is for people interested in creating work in all media about what it means to share our six basic needs – air\, food\, water\, shelter\, room to move\, and each other – with all creatures. \nREGISTER FOR THE WORKSHOP \nWe’ll explore the science that illuminates the stark choices we face in order to conserve resources and ensure the needs of all species are met\, including the animals on our streets\, in our backyards\, parks\, shorelines\, rivers\, oceans and skies. \nThrough process-oriented presentation\, guided exercises\, and open discussion\, we’ll weave scientific information into the creative process. We’ll also use our new book\, “Creature Needs” as a source of inspiration. Participants are encouraged to bring the sketching or writing materials of their choice as well as empathy and imagination. \nNo special skills are required for this free workshop. All ages are welcome (children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult). \nABOUT LUCY SPELMAN \n“Dr. Lucy” is a world-renowned zoo and wildlife veterinarian\, writer\, and educator.
