This will be an opportunity to enter the world of botany through illustration and printmaking. Exercising our eyes to observe plants and the natural richness that surrounds us in an analytical way, we will learn some basic notions of plant morphology; additionally, we will learn the basic principles of printmaking while experimenting with geometric shapes and patterns to carve a linoleum block.
