Is that?
Botanical art is an art genre that combines botanical studies and fine arts. More than just a painting, botanical painting takes the object of various parts of the plant, from the leaves, fruit seeds, the whole body of the plant, to other detailed details. Every detail must be accurate from the point of view of botanical science, and at the same time have an aesthetic value that is able to thrill both the painter and the viewer.
Through this workshop entitled the art of botany, we hope that this botanical art can make people more familiar with native Indonesian flora, and after getting to know them, they become affectionate and arise a desire to preserve it. Because at the same time this workshop was held in a rare sense of community service.
