Family Art Project: Myth and Morphology

Morphology is the study of botanical form, and it has long inspired folklore and legends. Observe plant anatomies through the art of botanical illustration to inform your own myth-making. Through observational drawings and layering collages of the myths take time to imagine what wisdom you may glean from the way these plants grow.
