SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Graphite Shading
DESCRIPTION:This course is very elucidative either for beginners or more experienced practitioners of pencil art. It aims to provide all the theoretical and practical tools necessary for beginners to initiate their practice and for intermediate students to improve their skills. We start from a basic understanding of the very mechanics of how graphite works\, as well as the importance of the texture of the paper and the sharpness of the pencil\, and how these aspects influence our intended result. We also address different ways to hold the pencil and the variety of motions used to produce the shading. From that understanding\, we expand our objectives and practice the visual apprehension of tonal values seen in nature in order to represent them accurately\, by aiming at the simplest approach with minimum effort involved. Once we dominate visual comprehension\, our hands will follow and begin to practice how to faithfully represent what we see with all its delicate nuances and subtle shifts. \nIn this course\, you will:\nLearn about the different types and qualities of graphite\, how and when to use them;\nExplore the different results that can be achieved according to the procedures and the materials employed;\nAnalyze how to hold the pencil according to the aimed outcome and how varying its motion produces different effects;\nInvestigate the fundamental role of an accurate observation associated with a simple system of progressive depiction of light and shades;\nUnderstand how to achieve precision and uniformity of lines and edges;\nPractice rendering smooth and beautiful gradients and how to make eventual corrections to them;\nLearn to perceive and represent subtle variations and specific types of transitions of values;\nExamine methods for correcting errors and avoiding causing severe damage to the paper and the finishing. \nThis virtual course is led by renowned international artist Rogério Lupo. Recordings of each class will be permanently available to students. \nFees: Member $185\, Non-Member $222 \nAll programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:The Power of Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Pollinators and their choices have a powerful impact on our local ecosystem. They pick which flowers to pollinate\, therefore deciding which plants get to form a fruit with seeds and reproduce. Without pollinators\, entire terrestrial food webs and ecosystems would collapse. Fortunately\, there is still a lot we can do to protect and support the pollinators. In this class\, we will foster a love and appreciation for our pollinating friends. We will discuss various methods to support local wildlife by supporting pollinators and the overall food web. Participants will each receive a special mix of native plant seeds collected from Clara’s garden so they can start or add on to a pollinator garden at home! Come learn how to make a positive difference in the natural world with like-minded individuals! \nThis class has been cancelled. \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Ikebana for Early Summer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a peaceful and inspiring floral design experience exploring the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana. This month we are honored to feature the Kado Sensho Ikenobo School\, a distinguished tradition known for its deep respect for Ikebana’s rich history and its emphasis on simple\, elegant designs that allow each designer to express their individuality. Participants will learn about the philosophy and traditions of the Ikenobo style while practicing how to create harmonious\, balanced arrangements using exclusively natural materials. The demonstration theme\, “Early Summer Rain\,” reflects the quiet beauty of flowers after a summer storm—petals softened and bent by the rain\, imperfect yet still deeply beautiful. Inspired by this moment in nature\, participants will explore how simplicity\, balance\, and natural form can express both resilience and creativity\, letting the flowers themselves guide the design process. \n\nFees: Member $51\, Non-Member $64 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Illustrating Pollinators for Botanical Art: Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:A Three-Day Intensive Workshop on the Form and Function of Butterflies \nThis workshop is designed to deepen your understanding of butterflies beyond basic anatomy. Rather than simply identifying the head\, thorax\, and abdomen\, we’ll explore how leg structures\, mouthparts\, and flight patterns reveal a butterfly’s purpose\, personality\, and ecological role. By studying the epitome of form and function\, artists will gain insight into how these elements create life in motion. \nOver three intensive days\, we’ll blend structured instruction\, guided observation\, and hands-on drawing exercises to develop both technical skill and scientific understanding. Instead of rushing to complete a portfolio-ready piece\, you’ll create a meaningful\, well-designed observational record that serves as a foundation for future work. \nKey Learning Components:\n✔ Live Demonstrations & Guided Instruction – Learn structured methods for drawing butterflies accurately and scientifically.\n✔ Hands-On Drawing & Observation – Apply concepts directly through structured drawing exercises.\n✔ Scientific Pinning & Preservation – Learn techniques for preparing specimens for study and reference.\n✔ Group Discussions & Inquiry-Based Exploration – Strengthen your ability to interpret form and function through critical thinking. \nThis class bridges visual art\, science\, and ecology\, guiding botanical artists to illustrate not just the beauty of nature\, but its deeper purpose—capturing form\, function\, and the interconnected roles of pollinators through careful observation and mark-making. \n See class supply list below. \n\nThis class has been cancelled. \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Honoring the Light - and how it reflects on different surfaces
DESCRIPTION:This workshop aims to convey a system of observation of light and shade that addresses this complex issue with simple procedures. We begin by restricting our focus merely to the absolute qualities of light and shade in their extreme values. Thus\, the brightest highlight is recognized at first\, and everything else is left aside for a while. Once we identify its tonal value\, be it purely white or not\, the absolute quality of the highlight is determined\, and then it must become the parameter for representing all else. As we progress with the work\, the need for constant comparison of tonal values is fundamental until we establish the absolute quality of the darkest shade as well. From that point on\, it becomes easier to decipher and render the values of secondary lights\, midtones\, and reflections\, with all their obvious or subtle nuances. \nIn this course\, you will:\nDiscover the magic and complexity of light\, and improve your ‘artistic eye’;\nEnhance your ability to observe and represent different luminosities of light;\nUtilize the full spectrum of light’s qualities and learn to express its atmosphere;\nUnderstand how various surfaces reflect the light differently\, and can even transmit tactile sensation;\nExamine a variety of qualities of light phenomena\, like translucency and metallic reflections\, including the depiction of waterdrops;\nLearn to perceive subtle variations and specific types of transitions of values;\nInvestigate and accurately represent highlights\, midtones\, shadows\, and reflections;\nMake your drawings more dynamic by adding depth\, volume\, and dimension;\nGet inspired to create captivating realistic images by deeply learning about light’s nuances. \nThis virtual course is led by renowned international artist Rogério Lupo. Recordings of each class will be permanently available to students. \nFees: Member $185\, Non-Member $222 \nAll programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Cutting Gardens: Maintenance & Organic Fertilization
DESCRIPTION:Keep your cutting garden thriving with natural\, organic methods this season! This class focuses on maintaining a productive flower garden by focusing on simple methods that will aid you in keeping the weeds down\, supporting your blooms\, and feeding your plants using organic fertilizers/inputs. We will explore sustainable practices that will allow you to be eco-friendly and effective in your growing space this year. Each participant will go home with a wealth of applicable knowledge\, several different organic fertilizers\, and a compost tea making kit to start working with immediately. Whether you’re growing for the first time or on your 10th year\, this course will help you cultivate a flourishing\, chemical-free cutting garden at home. \nThis class is cancelled. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.
