SUMMARY:Botanical Drawing II: Shading & Structure
DESCRIPTION:You’ve built a strong foundation in Botanical Drawing I—learning to see\, structure\, and create form using only line. That’s no small feat. Now\, it’s time to expand your understanding of depth and dimension by exploring light\, shadow\, and value. \nThis course takes the next step in your artistic journey\, sharpening your ability to see subtle shifts in light and shadow while deepening your focus and observational skills. Using graphite\, you’ll explore grayscale rendering and value mapping\, learning to blend smooth transitions between highlights\, midtones\, and shadows. The result? More refined\, visually rich botanical drawings that convey structure and realism. \nNature remains our greatest teacher. Together\, we’ll observe how light sculpts botanical forms\, sketch directly from life\, and refine our understanding of contrast. You’ll create a personal value finder\, experiment with artistic tools\, and gain confidence in shading—all in a supportive\, engaging environment where curiosity and practice make learning fun. \nNervous? That’s normal. But remember—you’ve already done the hard part. You’ve learned how to build form with line alone. Now\, you’re simply adding another layer of understanding. This is still a beginner’s course\, and you’ll be guided every step of the way. Let’s keep growing—one line\, one shadow\, one discovery at a time! \n See class supply list below. \n\nCANCELLED. \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:Introduction to the Sogetsu School of Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:This course is designed to introduce the student to the Sogetsu School of Ikebana\, founded in 1927 by Sofu Teshigahara with the motto that Sogetsu Ikebana can be created anytime\, anywhere\, by anyone in any part of the world\, and with any materials. The Sogetsu School\, one of the most contemporary schools of Ikebana\, follows the core principle that\, “Ikebana reflects the person who arranged it”. Flowers no matter how beautiful come from nature and these natural materials are used to create beauty with our feelings. Basic artistic elements of line\, color\, mass\, space\, tension\, harmony and balance are all used in the creation of Sogetsu Ikebana. In this class\, students will create a Basic Upright Style Moribana Arrangement using flower and branch material. Students will learn the proper placement of the kenzan in the container and the placement of 3 main stems along with supporting stems on the kenzan. Students will learn how space creates artistic tension and how to create depth for harmony and balance in the arrangement. This arrangement reflects a key principle in Ikebana\, “Less is more” that is characterized by using fewer stems to highlight the natural beauty of each flower and branch. \n\nFees: Member $50\, Non-Member $60 \nAll programs are subject to change.

SUMMARY:Water and Stone Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Born in Long Island\, N.Y.\, Nancy Kulik received her Bachelor of Science degree in Fine Arts with a scholarship from Hofstra University. During her time there\, she had the opportunity to attend school in Rome and travel across Europe for a semester. This period of her education opened her soul to a deep connection with the Creator and creation through art\, people\, places\, and remarkable life experiences. It also sparked a lifelong passion for ministry and space planning\, two pursuits that often intertwine in unexpected ways. \nArt has always been a deeply personal spiritual experience for her\, both in the creative process and in visual expression. This connection has been most profoundly reflected in her recent exploration of the relationship between nature and scripture\, seeing them as tandem reflections of one another. \nThis exhibition is located in the Lora M. Robins Library and is included with Garden admission. Please note\, the library is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

SUMMARY:Portraits of Place
DESCRIPTION:Portraits of Place is part of a series of site-specific botanical collaborations that honor the land and our connection to it\, created by artist Hillary Waters Fayle. \nSourced from parks\, gardens\, or private properties\, each piece pays tribute to the people who have come before—those who tilled the soil\, planted seeds\, or tended trees and flowers. Pressed and preserved plant materials are carefully arranged and adhered to paper or acrylic\, visually reflecting the spectrum of human interaction with nature\, from wild meadows to formal gardens. The patterns formed by leaves\, petals\, and seeds express a deeper structure of connection within the natural world and our shared experiences. \nWhen a blueprint is to be made\, the finished arrangement is placed over watercolor paper coated with UV-sensitive iron salts. Exposed to sunlight\, the leaves cast shadows that block the rays\, creating a striking contrast once the paper is rinsed and dried: deep blue where the sun touched\, and pale hues where shadows fell. This cyanotype process—the original method for making blueprints—mirrors the themes of the work itself: sunlight as a life-giving force\, essential to plants\, to the cotton in the paper\, and to the image-making process. The result is both a visual record and a symbolic reflection of the land’s enduring story.

SUMMARY:Intermediate Botany
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Douglas DeBerry for an in-depth overview of the tools and techniques used by botanists to identify plants to the species level\, with a strong emphasis on family characteristics. Attendees will be exposed to concepts in plant classification\, nomenclature\, habitat\, distribution\, and of course\, vegetative and reproductive characteristics—all of which can be used to help identify plants to the species level. Emphasis is on native or naturalized species in Virginia and the use of dichotomous keys in technical plant manuals and regional floras. An important focus of the course will be on empowering attendees to “dismantle” the seemingly endless complex of scientific terminology surrounding plant identification. This course will include a mix of time for lectures\, labs\, and field practicums. Attendees should be prepared for some fieldwork homework assignments. \nFees: Member: $220\, Non-Member: $264 \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.
