uring the rainy season, Santa Rosa’s Taylor Mountain Park turns emerald green, with cows lumbering through meadows and oaks reaching for the sky. On January 23, the pastoral scene will serve as the setting for Sonoma County Regional Parks’ Nature Journaling with Families class, at which kids and adults will learn techniques for recording their observations of trees, mosses, bark, and lichen. The class will be held 1–2:30 p.m. and costs $10–$12. Purchase tickets at tinyurl.com/2mp36knm. ¶
yes, nose, mouth—it takes skill to draw a face. And artist Tami Tsark aims to help her students learn how to do it. Her Drawn from Life Portrait Workshop will show participants how to not only construct a face, but also how to implement key components to create expressive portraits. The two-hour Charles M. Schulz Museum class will meet via Zoom on January 8, 9:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m., and costs $20. Sign up at schulzmuseum.org/ drawn-from-life-portrait-workshop. ¶

hey like to hang out in the corners of living rooms and bedrooms: dusty piles of old magazines. But before the urge to de-clutter completely takes over, consider this: Magazines can be used to make art. Just ask the folks running Recycled Art with Magazines. The outdoor workshop, part of Sonoma County Regional Parks’ Gettin’ Crafty in Nature for Teens series, will be held on January 6, 4–5:30 p.m., at Andy’s Unity Park in Santa Rosa. It costs $16–$18 plus $7 for parking. Register at tinyurl.com/46u3fazs. ¶
