Sherry Knight attended the Advanced Art of Nature workshop sponsored by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. This was a two day workshop at Ponca, Arkansas which is known for its Elk population.
It started with a presentation on Elk in Arkansas by Wes Wright, AGFC Elk Program Coordinator. Next was Outdoor photography by Arlene Green, AGFC Assistant Chief of Information and Education Division. Then, there was a tour of the Ponca Elk education Center and Elk Viewing at Boxley Valley. Duana Hada was the Arkansas artist who had a demonstration of Elk painting.
The next day consisted of a hike, nature viewing, and photography of the Los Valley continued with an Elk painting workshop. Pictured is Mrs. Sherry Knight with a variety of supplies donated to her to use in her Monticello Middle School classroom and her original artwork of an elk that she created at the workshop.
