Art and nature – therapy, study, skills

13/05/2020

Nature and wildlife art is an important topic of interest- particularly at this time of Coronavirus when we want to connect with nature. Nature art requires a range of skills – from the science of anatomy, to the skills of artistry with pencil, brush or camera.

Thaneeya McArdle gives us some her ideas why nature art is so important

She says – Nature in art can take many visual forms, from photorealism to abstraction. Art can mimic nature, by seeking to visually replicate objects as they actually appear in real life.
