Botany
FOR BOTANICAL ILLUSTRATION
Botanical illustrators need to be well versed in the intricacies of plant forms. Morning sessions help you learn to understand the structure of flowering plants and conifers and to study and draw a diversity of plant parts under the guidance of a botanist. Students keep an illustrated study journal. Scientific names in botanical illustration are discussed and used. Afternoons are devoted to graphite illustrations of plants related to the morning’s discussion. Emphasis is placed on observation, accurate representation of details, and labeling. Prerequisite: Introduction to Drawing for Botanical Illustration.
Required text (students should have this at the first class): Understanding the Flowering Plants, by Anne L.D. Bebbington
