Drawing Herbs - The Natural World Through Warrior Cats (Self-Paced)
Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
*All "busy-work" and commenting in the classroom is optional in this class. Over the course of four weeks, students will both learn about the nature and botany of several herbs before using their artistic skills to incorporate the herbs into a nature scene. This will help students who learn more visually to be able to best grasp where herbs are located and be able to spot them not only in gardens, but also out in the wild.

I have taught four other classes on Outschool which discuss this subject in detail. I take this class from a historical and botanical perspective, describing how herbs were used in history, as well as biomes/weather that these plants are located in.

The Warriors series by Erin Hunter contains death and violence. The herbs described in this class are used in relation to this violence. Warriors is a series directed at 8-12 year olds. Parents are best aware if Warriors is suitable or not for their children. Herbs are also to be noted no substitute for medical care and are mentioned in this class from purely a botanical and historical use focus.
Warriors by Erin Hunter is used for inspiration. Just like one of the Erin Hunters, I feel it suitable to mention that many of these herbs are taken from Culpeper's Herbal Remedies by Nicolas Culpeper. This is used as historical reference, not as a guide for actual medical care.
