Master’s Studio Certificate Program

The Master’s Studio Certificate is designed for the advanced student who has completed the core classes in pencil, colored pencil, watercolor I, and pen & ink from the Botanical Art and Illustration Certificate. Students must submit a portfolio of recent work for review.

Individual growth and development of a personal artistic style will be the focus of the certificate. Instructors will facilitate your learning, giving demonstrations and providing specimens for your class work. Classes will be offered in a wide variety of mediums and techniques, moving beyond traditional scientific illustration. Students will complete 120 hours of coursework to earn a Master's Studio Certificate. Two Visiting Artist workshops may be applied to the certificate. A portfolio review and art exhibit will complete your certificate.

Master’s Studio classes may count as electives towards the Botanical Art Certificate or the Master's Studio Certificate but not both. For more information please contact the Coordinator of Botanical Art Education at 630-719-5642.
