Drawings provide that small capture in time. You may not have enough time to sketch a moving subject or you may miss details. When you’re drawing from a picture, you pay more attention to detail. You don’t feel rushed.
1. I really love and enjoy nature. I've never thought of nature journaling, so I wanted to try it out. Plus, it would be nice to slow down and take in nature. This may be something that I try with my students in my classes.
2. I like the idea of using it as a study tool to learn more about different aspects of organisms and behavior. I do like the idea of doing sketches first and then making notes. It's nice seeing how individualistic and open nature journaling is.
3. As of now, I do not. It's still new to me.
