Plants provide some of the most beautiful artistic inspiration in nature. 18th century European exploration exposed people to flora and fauna they’d never before seen in forms they’d never have imagined.  From adult coloring books to detailed documentation of newly discovered species, people in the 18th century were using art to experience their expanding world.  In this class we will take inspiration from historic  artists/scientists and experience the beauty of fruits roots and flowers using crayon and colored pencil.
