Botanical Art

Drawing objects from nature starts a dialogue between students and their environment. The analytical techniques they use to visually explore objects can be transposed and applied to all other subjects of STEAM.

Botanical Art was used to record scientific studies and specimens before photography was in use. It is an invaluable resource in Science and Natural History, as well as being beautiful and decorative artefacts; this is just one example of Art being vital to the study of Sciences.

 

 

Year 10 BTEC students have been busy working from natural imagery and objects to develop their practice in Art. Here is a small sample of some of the great work they have been producing.
