Senior lecturer Emily Glass’ fall 2019 Topics in Studio Arts course focused on painting plants and animals. The below photos are from an end-of-semester nature painting studio session. Earlier course assignments included students gathering and cutting flowers from the RIT Community Garden that were used to create paintings. The class consisted of undergraduate and graduate students.
