What happens when hands-on observation meets professional art curation? Mrs. Whitson's and Ms. Trouslot’s art classes combined both on a field trip to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and Crossroads Art Center. Students practiced observational sketching of butterflies in the conservatory and studied the craftsmanship and storytelling behind life-size Alebrijes—an excellent real-world lesson in form, color, and cultural art practices.
