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.

Drawing habits and dealing with the inner critic are also discussed. \nUsing 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.

SUMMARY:1930s Mexico City
DESCRIPTION:Join Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden on the road as we explore 1930s Mexico City with Chef Danny Mena at Conejo. This class is inspired by the post-revolutionary era where an increase in poverty prompted a cultural shift that elevated traditional staples such as corn\, beans\, and chiles into symbols of national identity. In the mid-to-late 1800s\, French traditions dominated the culinary landscape due in large part to the reign of Maximiliano and Carlota. Contemporary Mexican cuisine is a rich fusion born of historical evolution; ultimately\, French\, Spanish\, and indigenous flavors morphed together to create the “Mexican food” we love today. \nFollowing the discussion\, join Chef Danny for an elevated and delicious four-course dinner with paired cocktails\, wine and coffee. Full menu to come! \nNote: We are able to accommodate vegetarian requests and non-alcoholic beverages. Please be sure to indicate those preferences during registration. \nFee is all-inclusive and covers the talk with Chef Danny Mena\, all food and beverage and Richmond City Meals tax and gratuity. Please note that this class will meet off-site at Conejo (5820 Patterson Ave\, Richmond\, VA 23226). \nFees: Member $87\, Non-Member $104 \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.
