Join us for a short walking tour and deep looking exercised focused on native plants in campus landscaping. We will identify plants in the landscaping, learn about the importance of native flora, and consider their ethnobotanical connections. At one stop on the tour Art Museum staff will lead us in a deep looking and drawing activity (materials provided). This tour will comprise of 0.6 miles of travel on flat paved surfaces. This multifaceted project is designed by a collaborative creative research team comprised of Grand Valley faculty, staff, and students.
