Four Seasons: Introduction to Scientific Botanical Drawing (Autumn)

Artist Elizabeth Tesdell

Observation is the primary process through which we can understand and relate to our natural environment. Guided by artist Elizabeth Tesdell, participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to observe a selection of plants and understand their unique forms and distinguishing features. Based on their visual and sensory observation, they will produce detailed scientific drawings of plants in the Museum gardens. The workshop offers an opportunity for direct interaction with the natural landscape through artistic representation. 

This is a seasonal workshop that highlights the bloom cycles of the diverse plant life in the Museum gardens throughout the year.
