Drawing Animals at the Academy of Natural Sciences (five sessions)
Adult Class | FULL
Explore and draw the fascinating prehistoric and modern day animals within the Academy of Natural Sciences. This workshop emphasizes the understanding and illustration of animals by breaking down the basics of anatomy. At first, students will learn to draw skeletal structures of dinosaurs to learn how they move and come alive. We will then learn the basic principles of how muscles fit onto skeletons. The class will then move throughout the museum to draw the many animals on display in their dioramas, learning to draw various head shapes, fur and feathers.

1. Learn basic animal anatomy
