Let your imagination fly with bird-inspired creative drawing! Artist Rachel Mirus leads the workshop.

Observing nature has inspired many artistic flights of imagination. In this class, we will look closely at feathers, one of the hallmark traits of birds, and spend time observing birds. Along the way we will cover field sketching and easy ways to add color to drawings, working primarily in graphite, color pencil, and brush pen. We'll consider how scientific or fantasy illustrators reinvent vanished animals like feathered dinosaurs or create images of mythical animals like the phoenix.

Class includes time for students to experiment with their own creative ideas!

All materials provided, but participants are encouraged to bring any natural objects they wish to draw or share.

Bring a friend! You are welcome to enjoy your lunch here at the museum after the workshop.
