The workshop's participants will study historical plant samples, explore the Botanical Garden and discover structures with the microscope. The gathered knowledge they will develop into a graphical interpretation of the plant world.

We will visit special research sites in Berlin on three excursions and examine the plant world in different ways: Systematics and stylization based on historical models in the Laboratory for Drawing at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK); richness of form and complexity in the Botanical Garden; surface structures in the Microscopy Centre at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. At these three locations, which each reveal different aspects of the plant world, participants will learn drawing strategies and gain an insight into the natural world. In this first phase of the workshop, I teach drawing techniques that allow participants to look more closely and accumulate.
