Get Turned On to Plants & Botanical Illustration

October 20, 2007 by Tania Marien

ArtPlantae offers classes for anyone who may be interested in learning more about plants and how to draw them. The objective of these classes is to provide learning experiences that are fun and informative for all participants, regardless of skill level.

Draw What?! – Botanical Illustration for First-time Artists™

First-time artists will acquire an understanding of botany and will be introduced to the world of botanical art & illustration in this course. Participating artists will leave class with knowledge and with reference material that will enhance their continued learning in this discipline. Class participants will learn terminology pertaining to both botany and art. They will also learn how to observe plant specimens and learn how to capture plant forms onto paper. This class is ideal for gardeners who would like to learn how to begin to draw plants in their garden journals.

This five-session class will be taught at the Fullerton Arboretum on October 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 (Wednesdays) from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. in the Pavilion Classroom. Cost: $125 per person. Pre-registration is required. To register, call (714) 278-4794, press 0. A materials list will be provided. Class limit: 10

Graber Olive House, Ontario, CA
We are excited to offer a new learning opportunity this Fall. In keeping with our mission to encourage an interest in botany, we will begin offering opportunities for artists, gardeners and all plant enthusiasts to learn more about the plants in their world. We are launching this new program with a trip to Graber Olive House to learn about the history of the Graber family and to observe an olive packing house in full swing during harvest season. We would like this field trip to serve as way for artists and gardeners to meet and to begin building a friendly network of plant enthusiasts who enjoy learning about plants, capturing plants on paper, and sharing what they know and what they learn with others. Please join us!

Graber Olive House, Saturday, November 3, 2007 at 10:00 am. Bring your sketchbooks or garden journals to share what you do with others over a picnic lunch; bring a sack lunch to enjoy at the picnic tables. Participants will receive a map. All participants will meet at the olive house.
Limit: 15
Cost: FREE
