The Friends of Wellesley Botanic Gardens have arranged for Elaine Searle to help you look objectively at the role of the iPad and similar devices as tools for the botanical artist, and to evaluate some of the most interesting apps available for reference and recording.  Discover the difference controlled lighting can make to your plant reference photography.  Elaine will also cover usage etiquette and the possible pitfalls of over-reliance on these devices.  While the focus will be on iPad usage, many of the concepts are easily transferrable to other tablets which have built-in cameras.  The class will take place at the Visitors Center of the Wellesley College Botanic Gardens on Tuesday, July 22, from 9:30 – 3:30.  Wellesley Friends – $85; non-members – $110.  Sign up by calling 781-283-3094 or email wcbgfriends@wellesley.edu.
