This is a rare opportunity to gain access to the Wyck House's collection of scientific / naturalist specimens. Using a sketchbook provided, we will observe and draw in each session, surveying a selection of animal, plant and mineral specimens. As we look and draw, we will learn about their history in the collection, the characteristics of the specimen itself and develop an artistic toolkit of drawing, coloring and visual-note-taking. We will also look at decorative objects and (weather permitting) parts of the garden that relate to the specimen visually, historically or scientifically.
Fee: $44.00
