This month to celebrate the High Seas treaty, we will be painting about ocean based solutions! We'll think about coastal wetland protection, mangroves, establishing marine protected areas, kelp and oysters. We'll appreciate how the ocean protects us so we need to protect it.
Agenda:
5 minute buffer
10 minute introduction, ice breakers
30 minutes of drawing and intention setting
10-15 minutes of Q&A with Nicole on climate art
Materials: bring a pencil, eraser, and any paints/colored pencils/crayons if you have them. No prior art experience required.
Nicole Kelner is working at the intersection of art, climate, and technology. She uses watercolors to communicate complex, systematic challenges in climate and present them in a beautiful and accessible way. Her goal is to use art to inspire climate action. Nicole was previously the co-founder and COO at The Coding Space, an after school program to teach kids how to code. She helped lead the company to acquisition in 2019. Most recently, she was Head of Operations at Dashboard.Earth. Prior to that she was Chief of Staff at Climate Finance Solutions.
