JAM Session: Sketching From Nature
Think of the last picture of a plant or an animal you saw in a book—was it a photograph or a drawing? We are all used to seeing images of nature through photographs in our books, magazines, and videos. Photography is a pretty young field, and early scientists couldn’t simply pull out a phone and snap a picture! So, how did they record the tiny details of natural objects? In this natural history JAM, we’ll take a look at some of the earliest drawings, even from ancient Roman and Greek times, of plants and animals these early scientists made. We will also go on our own exploration along the wetlands trail to find objects to sketch.
