SUMMARY:Introduction to Botanical Drawing I
DESCRIPTION:This class is designed to provide foundational drawing skills and inspire a sense of wonder and connection to the natural world. Any age can learn to draw. Marks on paper are all a drawing is. Marks can be made on paper by anyone. Despite this\, not everyone takes the time to learn how to draw. It isn’t easy to develop drawing skills without spending a lot of time drawing. This class provides time\, motivation and inspiration for you to draw. Learn to think like an artist\, get curious\, ask questions\, and play— all while learning how to draw. We start with an overview of botanical art and learn about the benefits drawing provides for the brain and our physiology. Drawing habits and dealing with the inner critic are also discussed. Using pencil marks on paper\, participants explore sketchbook work\, basic line qualities\, light on forms\, and transforming reality into three-dimensional illusions. Sketching\, contour drawing\, negative space\, and measured drawing are also covered. Experimentation\, questions\, and observations are encouraged in a relaxed and inspiring environment. \nThis is a beginner’s class. All are welcome to enroll. See class supply list below. \n\nFees: Member $243\, Non-Member $291 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Beyond Birding for Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Ready to explore more about birds and birdwatching? Join Barb and Buz Sawyer\, avid birdwatchers\, in exploring a little deeper into this fascinating past-time.

Tools\, techniques\, and equipment will be shared\, as well as discussing bird behavior\, habitats and conservation. Weather permitting\, we will visit different habitats within the Garden. \nBring your stories and your questions! Barb will share photos of some of the places they have traveled on birdwatching adventures and Buz will talk about keeping a life list (his includes almost 500 species!). \nFees: Member $40\, Non-Member $48 \nAll programs are subject to change.
