Participants will work from slide, photos, and on-site at different locations. Instructor Latonja D. Davis teaches art at Mt. San Jacinto Community College (Menifee Valley campus). This course will be taught at the UCR Extension Center. Cost: $105 (includes parking). Registration #: 093-AHE-E08
- Botanical Illustration of Native Desert Flora (Art X454.5) – April 9-11, 2010; Friday (8 PM – 10 PM), Saturday (8 AM – 5 PM), Sunday (8 AM – 4 PM). As much a course in “art for botanists” as it will be “botany for artists”, this class will take place during the height of the desert blooming period. So participants can look forward to some very exciting plein-aire drawing and watercolor painting! In addition, the basics of line control, proportion, color, focusing/perception skills and plant identification will be reinforced with detailed dissection work in a well-equipped lab. This field study class will be based at the Desert Studies Center at Soda Springs (aka Zzyzx). Click on the link above for complete details.
