Insect Antomy for Artists -- Specialty Artists' Workshop
Creepy, crawly and ... beautiful? John Bartram declared,"whatsoever whether great or small ugly or handsom sweet or stinkingeverything in the universe in thair own nature appears beautiful to mee." Discover the intricate beauty of insects and other arthropods while developing your drawing skills, as we take a special look at these everyday creatures. Materials will be provided.
Our Artists' Workshop series is rooted in the rich history of Bartram's Garden, the oldest botanical garden in America. Following in the tradition of pioneering American explorer and botanical illustrator William Bartram, teaching artists Heather Rinehart and Alina Josan approach fine art through their love of nature and history. You'll gain new skills that will help you grow as an artist, and I think that you'll find their unquenchable curiosity to be very infectious.
This is a Specialty Artists' Workshop. We offer three categories of Artists' Workshops: Basics, Specialty, and Family. Our Specialty workshops are the most intensive in terms of time and materials, generally running three hours. Artists of all levels of experience are welcome to participate, however. Ages 16 and up. Please feel free to use our art supplies at no additional cost, though you are welcome to bring your own.
