For students taking Hort 2010 and others interested in this course. Instructor: Marcia Eames-Sheavly ME14@cornell.edu Hort 2010, The Art of Horticulture Fall semesters  This experiential course will consider plants and gardens as a subject of art. Students will explore basic drawing techniques, botanical illustration methods, watercolor, and garden photography. The course will address the natural history and symbolic use of plants in fine art, and will consider the artists relationship with the garden. Students will critically reflect on course content in journals and explore the work of garden writers. During the studio portion of the course, students will have ample opportunity to paint, illustrate, photograph, and write about plants and gardens. By keeping a reflective journal, students will express their own thoughts about art and horticulture, and have the opportunity to write creatively. We will host several visiting artists and will visit the special collections of Mann Library to see illustrations in rare books. Fall 2008 course materials:
