THE ART OF PLANT ANATOMY (ONLINE WORKSHOP)
Dr. Alejandra Gandolfo, Associate Professor at Cornell University's School of Integrative Plant Science
Have you ever wondered what plants look like on the inside? Explore the beauty and function of plant anatomy in this special botanical illustration workshop highlighting the inner workings of plant structures. Over the course of four classes, Dr. Alejandra Gandolfo will show you how to observe and illustrate microscopic views of stems and roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits using slides from Cornell University’s stunning collections. After this workshop, you’ll never look at plants the same way!
