The Program coordinator works with the Continuing Education department to develop the relevant curriculum as it relates to their particular field and is available for student counseling as it relates to course work.

Join Botanical Artist Wendy Hollender on Friday, April 27, 2007, 9:30am to 3:30pm for a one day workshop on botanical drawing.
Drawing plants and flowers starts with observation. Developing your ability to see detail and translate your observations to paper takes practice. Mastering basic skills of scientific illustration drawing will help take away some of the confusion and mystery of making realistic and dimensional looking drawings.
In this one day workshop, students will learn techniques of toning from light to dark to create the illusion of three dimensions on a two dimensional surface as well as techniques of perspective drawing used in making realistic drawings of flowers. Students will work in graphite pencil on drawing paper.
Fee for students currently enrolled at Westchester Community College: $100 Ref. Ref: #A509. Others: $125 Ref. #A510. A complete schedule for art courses and special workshops can be found here.
