A UVM blog Wonder Blog

Entry #4: The Brook on Tollgate Rd. Manchester VT, 7/10/23

Description of my site:

Today is rainy, humid, and about 75 degrees. Unfortunately, because of dangerous flooding in Vermont, I was not able to visit my blog spot in person. My spot is by a river and would be unsafe with the state that it is in. From photos on social media, my location is completely flooded with gushing water. It is unrecognizable from what is was in previous weeks.

Mini Project:

Because I couldn’t be at my site, I did some artwork and I.D. of some mushrooms! I have come across these in past two weeks so I was excited to learn more about them. I had a lot of dun doing this. Any opportunity I get to do some art I will take. I used the app Notability, a note taking app, to create my sketches. I enjoyed adding color to this wonder blog assignment rather doing more of the black and white sketches from before. The drawing I am most proud of is of the Honey Fungus. I spent a lot of time on that one, and I like how much detail there is. I thought it was especially fun to draw the slug slime. I think I will keep drawing mushrooms more often after this project.
