Week 4: Mark Making, Drawing from 'Leave No Trace' Principles

We will be looking at a variety of techniques on how we can make marks in our sketchbook. We will also learn how we can make a positive mark on our world by learning the 'Leave No Trace' Principles.

Guests will be guided through art activities exploring mark making, in and around the North Beach Plaza and Observation Deck. This will include sketching the surrounding dunescapes and New York City skyline, while learning about both.
