Class Description

Building upon a successful beginning workshop series, Noblesville naturalist, Geoff Davis, is conducting an intermediate online workshop where he will work with students to explore how Nature Journaling can increase engagement and enhance outdoor experiences.

This intermediate level course will focus on investigations including data collection and experimentation.

Davis, a bird carver and printmaker, has used journaling to document his natural experiences and to develop his observation skills.

In this free course students will explore a variety of techniques, media and approaches to record experiences, develop and answer questions and to develop new more meaningful adventures. We will be taking what we learned in the beginning course to a deeper level.

Circle of Life

Circle of Life Exhibit

As a part of our work with The Partners for the White River, a Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust funded initiative, the daVinci Pursuit partnered with artist Pat Mack to create a series of sculptures along the Urban Wilderness Trail near IUPUI in Indianapolis. The area focuses on pollinators and their essential role in the urban environment. The three sculptures: Cliff Swallow, Monarch Butterfly, and Milkweed Plant show the inter-connections and co-evolution of species. Each has a role to play in the creation of a balanced and healthy ecosystem.

The daVinci Pursuit has been exploring ways to create signage that draws people closer to the waterway and engages them through the arts to create “signs that are not signs.” The Circle of Life sculptures demonstrate the ability of the arts to draw people off the paved trails and move them into direct interaction and exploration of the nearby waterways.

Coevolution

Coevolution is used when two or more speicies like our cliff swallow, butterfly, and milkweed plant all affect each other’s evolution. Coevolution is most likely to occur when different species have close ecological interactions with one another. Many plants, poilliators, and birds are so dependent on one another that they become best adapted to living together in a particular habitat.

The River

Partners for the White River

Funded by a charitable gift from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust, the daVinci Pursuit is one of the Indiana nonprofit organizations collaborating on a multi-year initiative to protect and restore the White River with projects focused on improving water quality, increasing public access, fostering greater understanding and appreciation of the value of this critical natural resource, and providing benefits to the communities and wildlife that depend on the river and surrounding habitat. The group of collaborating organizations is called the Partners for the White River.

The 362-mile White River and its associated water resources provide drinking water to 2 million people (30 percent of Indiana’s population) and habitat to several thousand species of plants and animals.  With Trust support, the Partners for the White River is undertaking numerous interconnected projects along the river, its tributaries and within surrounding neighborhoods and communities in central Indiana.

Explore hidden worlds along a major river through the art and science of daVinci Pursuit artists and scientists in this engaging series of exhibits along the White River.
