In this casual studio setting, we will explore a variety of drawing and mixed media processes. For inspiration, we'll observe and sketch springtime flowers as a starting point. Each class will begin with guided experiences to introduce basic botanical drawing processes and design principals. We'll look at ways artists have represented flowers in art as students are encouraged to progress at their own pace and develop their personal interests.

  • Please Note:  This class is planned as an in person class and we expect that it will run the full semester in person.  However, there is an ongoing need to adhere to guidance and safety practices in order to safely manage the COVID-19 situation.  The guidelines from state government and public health authorities change as time progresses and the CAC may need to make adjustments accordingly.  It is possible that this class will transition to an online format at some point during the semester.  In this case, tuition refunds will not be issued unless the CAC is unable to provide the same number of class sessions as initially planned either in person or in a remote format.
  • Students provide 9x12 sketchbook.
  • Materials provided by CAC: Drawing Pencil Set and Black ink Micron Pen 05, colored pencils and glue.

Gail Ann Herring is a graduate of Kutztown University (BS in Art Education), and also Maryland Institute College of Art (MFA). A personal interest in botanical subjects lead to studying at the New York Botanical Garden, where Gail worked at mastering scientific illustration techniques, and completed the certificate program in Botanical Illustration. As a teaching artist, Gail has worked with students of all ages — in youth classes and adult workshop settings, as an artist-in-residence (age 3 - high school), and as an adjunct instructor in Early Childhood Arts Education (college). Gail has engaged in numerous collaborations with artists, teachers, and community-based programs to develop and mentor arts-integrated learning experiences focused on literacy and the arts.
