Virtual Drawing Lesson: Botanical Drawings

Alimacani students continue to learn virtually in Mrs. Woodlief's Virtual Art Studio.  In this recorded lesson, students learn about the science and history of botanical drawing.  

Travel into Mrs. Woodlief's front yard in search for the perfect specimen to draw a botanical drawing of a plant.   Students learn that long ago, before the invention of photography, scientists relied on artists to draw accurate drawings of the plants they were studying.  Each species was carefully studied, drawn and cataloged for documentation.  

The video below shows students the steps to create their own a botanical drawing.
