Over hundreds of millions of years, nature has evolved elegant and
creative solutions to many design problems. We’ll explore how using
biomimicry (mimicking nature) and biophilic design (increasing
our exposure to nature within our built environment) can help us to
create products, buildings, and communities whose relationships
to nature are positive and robust.
Instructor: Kathleen McKeehen, Botanical Artist and Instructor
Learn the basics of classical botanical watercolor painting, which will include techniques in measurement, drawing, and understanding how light reveals form, along with practice in color mixing. The application of controlled washes and dry-brush technique will contribute further, producing an image that is three-dimensional, accurate, and aesthetically appealing--the goal of botanical painting--and equally effective in painting other subjects realistically.
Please join the board and staff of Architects Without Borders - Seattle on June 16 at 6:00 pm for its annual celebration. We will welcome Seka Glory Mkini of the Jua Lekundu Foundation as our keynote speaker and invite you to hear about our completed and new projects, meet our Board, Project Managers and new Executive Director, and help us grow and be more effective in our efforts to engage the design community to serve populations in need here and all over the world.
The event is free and includes wine and food, but a $10 donation is suggested.
