Description
Ideal reference for teachers and students in Years 7 -10
Flowers and Foliage: Creating contemporary botanical art explores the always popular subject matter of botanical art. This is a beginner’s guide to creating contemporary botanical art - ideal for art students in years 7 - 10 and centred on flowers: tulips, sunflowers, orchids and many more.
Exercises include:
· drawing with the non-dominant hand
· blind contour exercise to test hand-eye coordination
· drawing a flower upside down to practise observational skills to draw what you see rather than your perceived idea of what a flower looks like.
To help guide readers and budding artists to create their own amazing botanical art, each activity includes:
· step-by-step imagery,
· flower diagrams with labels
· original commissioned photography
The projects include working with different media: watercolour pastel pencil ink and use a range of popular flowers as inspiration. With a focus on appreciating nature and making time to play, this simple introduction makes the style of botanical art accessible to all.
