In this printmaking-painting hybrid course, we will explore the plant-powered possibilities found in botanical elements and forms.  For the first five weeks, we will explore pattern and and design through printmaking techniques like screen printing and linoleum block prints.  We’ll draw inspiration from historical and contemporary textile artists and illustrators before creating our own printed textiles.   The last five weeks of class we will explore similar themes while learning the techniques of oil painting, drawing from artists throughout Art History who have painted flora in a variety of styles.

Due to current guidelines and restrictions, we are unable to provide transportation or snacks at this time.  We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope to offer these accommodations again soon.
