A partnership with the Omidyar Scholars Program and the Mystic Watershed Collaborative was established. The outcome of this partnership was that Lauren Carelli, participant in the Omidyar Scholars Program, helped students to accurately represent birds in their environments and to understand the relationship between the birds and the Reservoir environment. Under the leadership of Lisa Brukillachio, Lauren visited the Reservoir learning how to use binoculars and practice field sketching techniques. Lauren’s considerable experience and skill in painting helped her to develop examples of the projects students were doing and to help students develop techniques necessary to portray birds and environmental elements. Lauren focused on teaching students watercolor techniques such as applying watercolor washes to produce transparent sky and sea areas and to mix colors so that bird colors were accurately represented. |
