Animal Drawing II: Exploring Materials: Online
Elody Gyekis | Spring II | Tuesdays: Mar 21 - May 2
Class Description:
Join Elody Gyekis for an exploration of drawing methods and materials using animals as the subject.
In Animal Drawing II, students will explore white and black charcoal on toned paper, ink, watercolor, and mixed-media layering. The class will build upon the gesture drawing and drawing strategies learned in Animal Drawing 1, focusing primarily on techniques for other drawing media and exploring the various surface textures and expressions found in the animal kingdom. We will also look at various artists' approaches to depicting animals throughout art history, focusing on pre-modern, modern, and contemporary artists.
