ARCHIVE - Visualizing Ecology - A Trail through Leaves http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/taxonomy/term/13/0 en ARCHIVE - Chelsea Howe http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/chelsea-howe-2 <p>As I respect what Hannah Hinchman has created as an expressive and a succeeding tutor to her life by compiling journals, I found that many aspects of her book/ journal, A Trail Through Leaves,  could have been left unpublished.  I took use in her many ideas of how to use different &quot;tools&quot; to help evolve a better artist, or nature-guided and inspired teacher by the means of interacting art and the many colors you can find within a twelve color watercolor set, and I found them very relevant.  In all her relevance, I did find much personal content, that focused more on the taste that makes her tongue tingle, irrelevant to the interested reader.  I was reading along, picking up and pondering  Hinchman&#39;s ideas, when a particular sentence threw me off for a minute.  Besides permitting the reader to be warped into her , the meaning seemed to e pretty shallow and lacked a deep purpose when I read,  &quot;I like the Bic better than the heavy, pretentious Mont Blanc ballpoint pen that my friend found in the street, in a little pouch (31).&quot;   I think that if this book is intended to help students acheive a level of most satifaction with their work, she should focus a little more on finding the right things for yourself.</p> <p><a href="http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/chelsea-howe-2">read more</a></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/chelsea-howe-2#comment A Trail through Leaves Sun, 08 Oct 2006 20:38:44 -0700 howche15 242 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall ARCHIVE - Cody Cohan http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/cody-cohan-0 <p>    Hannah Hinchman’s book entitled <u>A Trail Through Leaves</u> is one of the most interesting and helpful nature journals that I have ever come across. I would not call Hinchman’s work a book. <u>A Trail Through Leaves</u> is more about ideas and examples for someone with a newly started nature journal (sound familiar). I think she has many great ideas and exercises to learn more about how you draw and how you see your surroundings. She is very motivated to always keep a nature journal and says they are invaluable. I once had a nature journal for a two month period where I lived in the woods.</p> <p><a href="http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/cody-cohan-0">read more</a></p> http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall/cody-cohan-0#comment A Trail through Leaves Sun, 08 Oct 2006 11:16:11 -0700 cohcod02 185 at http://www2.evergreen.edu/visecofall
