Art in Conservation: Drawing from Nature

Observing the natural world is like allowing your eyes to draw what you see without using a pencil, as you carefully follow the outlines of the shapes, textures, and details. The Art of Drawing is simply a form of mark-making. With the practice of the basic skills; of blind contour, proportion, value, and detail, we learn to draw what we see through our interpretation. We develop a new awareness and appreciation of the natural beauty in the world around us.

Join us every Wednesday at 10 am in the Herff House on 33 Herff Rd.
