Artists often look to nature’s patterns and forms for inspiration. Students will visit the galleries to explore motifs from the natural world—such as leaves, flowers, and animal tracks—and learn how artists transform them into patterns and design. Using a variety of techniques, they’ll create prints, jewelry, and mixed-media artworks featuring their own nature-inspired patterns.
