Field arts are the ways we translate the language of the wild into something we humans can understand and love: Writing in our field notebooks, map-making, sketching, watercoloring in situ . . . Field arts use primitive tools, compared to high-tech things such as cameras: A pen or pencil and paper, a few pigments and some water. Field arts use our brains in ways our cameras cannot approach: To study something to draw it, one must see, not just look . . . one learns the very essence of what makes the leaf or the flower, the deer or the house wren . . .Field arts go hand-in-hand with exploration: we use our observational and visual skills to document our world.And ultimately, field arts are, at their core, a direct link to science and knowledge and understanding and ultimately, appreciation and conservation.
