SUMMARY:Venomous Snake ID Class
DESCRIPTION:Do all venomous snakes have triangle heads and cat-eye pupils? How do you tell the difference between a venomous snake and a nonvenomous snake? Do snakes chase people? What do you do if you are bitten by a venomous snake? Learn the answers to these questions and more at Ruffner Mountain! \nWe will be using a Powerpoint and life-size\, lifelike models of all of Alabama’s venomous snakes to learn field marks. One venomous snake will be on display behind glass\, and you will be able to meet and touch live\, nonvenomous lookalikes. \nThis program is geared towards ages 12 and up. \nDisclaimer: There will be live snakes at this program. Venomous snakes will remain behind glass.

SUMMARY:Sense & Response - Nature Drawing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:As the contemporary art world witnesses an exciting revival in drawing directly from nature\, come join the movement with local interdisciplinary artist Annie Kammerer Butrus as she leads a creativity workshop in this timeless practice. \nThe workshop will begin in the field with Butrus teaching her methods for shadow tracing and blind contour drawing. These exercises focus on the physicality of light as well as intentional studying. While the workshop will include technical guidance\, no technical ability or proficiency is required. The final goal? For each artist to leave with a greater confidence in their ability to visually capture their unique reactions to the natural world. \nEach workshop participant will be provided with a small wire-bound sketchbook\, pencil\, and a Sakura micron pen that they can keep for their own practice. \nAnnie Kammerer Butrus (b. Evanston\, Illinois) is an award-winning artist with an M.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking from the University of Notre Dame and a B.A. from Wellesley College\, where she studied architecture\, landscape architecture and studio art. She exhibits her work in major cities\, galleries and academic institutions. Realized primarily through painting\, Butrus’ artistic practice focuses on the intersection of science\, landscape\, and memory. Her interest lies in how mapping shapes our idea of place and belonging\, how to document change and time\, and how often the source of our interaction with nature is from the inside looking out. Her process employs many series of latex resist and layers of opaque and translucent acrylic paint\, applied in succession to create lines and boundaries. Labor intensive\, the resist application records the act of painting\, allows complete control of the painted surface and then\, once removed\, transforms the painting over and over\, creating positive and negative voids.
