AAS Exploring Nature
Through Art
Atlanta Audubon Society Presents…
EXPLORING NATURE THROUGH ART
Drawing Workshop Series
With Atlanta Artist Carol Anne Sutherland
Learning
about the natural world gives us an appreciation for the value of
all living things. Just as John James Audubon based his study of birds
on naturalistic drawing, you can learn more about birds and their
habitats by exploring them through close observation and drawing. While
photography is a fine medium for capturing meaningful images and
personal encounters with nature, drawing brings us even closer to our
subject. Time, patience, and practice are required in drawing for a
sequential skill-building process. Drawing is something everyone can
learn and having a highly experienced instructor like Carol Anne
Sutherland can speed up the learning curve.
Carol, a graduate of Agnes Scott College, is a fine artist and art instructor. She has been an instructor at the Atlanta Botanical Garden (ABG) and Callanwolde Fine Arts Center since 1996, and she began the ABG Botanical Drawing Certificate Program in 2002. Carol spent 11 years as head of the Art Department at St. Pius X Catholic High School and ten years practicing site-specific art. Her areas of expertise include drawing orchids, tropical birds and botanicals, as well as portraits of children and pets. Check out her website at http://carolannesutherland.tripod.com.
