These drawing courses are designed to help students build the strong drawing skills and foundation necessary for the practice and study of illustration.Section Description:In this course, we use watercolor to make sensitive renderings of particular plants. We gain drawing skills as well as watercolor technique, and use these tools to bask in the always surprising genius of nature. We work to develop feelings for the things we are looking at, not just correctly record their forms. Empathy and appreciation leads to greater accuracy. This experience of plant-wonder is available to every level of skill and all majors. The study of natural form is applicable to architecture, industrial design, fashion, painting and illustration. If we know more about how perfect things are assembled and how they grow and reproduce, we can imagine and create things that have their own durable beauty.
