This Spring there will be two opportunities to learn about re-creating plants from the fossil record.
On Thursday, April 23rd, Marjorie Leggitt will present The Science of Art: Recreating Earth’s Ancient Plants at the Denver Botanic Gardens. Ms. Leggitt will describe how scientific illustrators create plant life from impression fossils. She will also describe how she created ancient landscapes at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
Then on May 16th, Ms. Leggitt will present Tulips, Pineapple Trees and Dinosaurs at the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center. She will describe how artists work with paleobotanists to create visual interpretations of ancient plant life on earth.
