Botanical Drawing (In Person)

Develop and refine an observational drawing practice through close examination and drawing a variety of plant specimens.

During visits to the University of Minnesota's College of Biological Sciences Conservatory, engage in the opportunity to create studies varying from timed observational contour drawings to fully formed experimentations. This course provides an excellent opportunity for students to develop and enhance their ability to observe and study the details of a given object. In addition to observational drawing techniques, learn and engage with a variety of experimental drawing techniques. Botanical drawing is a valuable way to refine a drawing practice, to learn to see with a more focused lens, and to use drawing as a way to explore and learn about the world around. / Material fee of $6 and facility fee of $48 is included in course tuition.
