the Green-House Classroom

A solution by Associazione GR submitted to Let Us Study In a Better Place

The greenhouse Room is an experimental laboratory in which the botanical world can dialogue with the illustrative one. The aim is to make the school environment richer and, in the meantime, introduce students to the art of botanical and entomology literature.

One Page Summary

The cultural association GR aims to create a “greenhouse-classroom “with several varieties of plants inside where the students can conduct various lessons including botanical courses, live painting and to use it as a place of assembly. We will focus on the work of Maria Sibylla Merian, also known as Anna Maria Sibylla (B. 1647, D. 1717), German-born naturalist and nature artist known for her illustrations of insects and plants. The goal is to analyze the work of Sibylla Merian while the students can practice with the different expressive techniques (water color, grafite, pencil color etc )
