Artistry with Animals

Ages 10 and up

10:00am-12:00pm

Unleash your creativity at these unique ANIMAL Life Drawing classes, led by artist and educator, Colleen Harrak. “Artistry with Animals” will be offered in 3 sessions – Jan. 20, Feb. 17, and Mar. 23, 2024. At all sessions, you will create realistic 2-D art using both taxidermy and live animals as your visuals. In Session 1, you’ll use charcoal and pencil to make sketches that capture both stillness and vitality. Session 2 invites you to explore mixed media, blending the textures of preserved and living subjects in your artwork. Finally, Session 3 brings this dynamic fusion to life with vibrant acrylic paints. Don’t miss this chance to blend art and animal anatomy in a one-of-a-kind setting. Reserve your “easel” today! White Memorial will provide art materials, paper, and drawing boards, but you’re welcome to bring your own materials. All skill levels welcome. For Ages 10 and up. Sign up by session or, for a discounted rate, the whole series! Members: $20/person per session or $50/whole series, Non-Members: $30/person per session or $80/whole series
