Using common sketching materials, Vera will guide participants in exploring various drawing techniques to mindfully collect images with meaning, by eye and hand. We will explore/investigate “Meaning” through wonder and inquiry, seeking clues to the plants’ or animals’ points of view, their biology, ecology, and evolution; and how it intersects with the sketcher’s personal aesthetic, mythic, or spiritual perspective.
Sketchers at all experience levels are welcome. Sketching techniques (gesture, shapes, contours, shading) will be introduced/revisited. Then, combining and refining techniques, we’ll draw plants, fungi, insects and/or birds from life, or, in case of rain, “captured” natural artifacts or entities. Sketches gathered in this workshop can be used for the Exploring Cut Paper workshop.
Suggested Capabilities: Able to focus for extended periods; observe and handle natural beings carefully & respectfully.
Age Limits: 16 yrs and older; 12 - 15 with an adult partner.
This course is led by Vera Ming Wong.
As a Natural Science Illustrator and Artist with Project Art for Nature, Vera strives to inspire conservation of nature through art. Drawing directly from nature is the root of her own pen-&-ink, watercolor and cut paper images. Through workshops and sketch outings, she helps others connect directly with nature through their own visual inquiry.
