1. I was inspired to take this course for so many reasons. Simply, I love to get out, observe and appreciate nature. With that in mind, I sometimes take my camera to capture different observations. I love the idea of bridging journaling and art together too. I have an appreciation for writing and art, however, I don't embark upon either outlet as much as I should. Nor do I find myself gifted in art or writing. Thus, I hoping to take all my loves - the outdoors, writing and art and blend them into something beautiful.
