Illustrating Insects - Butterflies, Moths, & some Creepy Crawlers!

  • The Lyceum of Monterey County 1073 Sixth Street Monterey, CA 93940 USA (map)

Butterflies, moths and other insects are incredibly important pollinators for our ecosystems. Using real-life insect specimens, students will use science illustration techniques to create accurate illustrations of butterflies, moths, and other insects! 

 We will focus on scientific accuracy, attention to detail and color matching. We will use graphite, ink, colored pencil and watercolor to create our insect illustrations.

 Each student will take home several sketches and illustrations of their own making! 

 For all skill levels.
