6 SESSIONS SKETCHBOOK at the ZOO
Draw in sketchbooks from fascinating animals while exploring issues of color, texture, space, line, form, and composition. It’s a joy to be outside of the traditional studio investigating drawing concepts inspired by “models” at the zoo. A selection of drawing media will be used including color, both wet and dry media. Each lesson begins with a lecture at the zoo café before heading out to draw from a variety of animals according to the topic discussed. All classes are held at Woodland Park Zoo. All levels are welcomed. Zoo entrance fee is not included.

Self Portrait Painting the Unusual Way: In the manner of FRIDA KAHLO
Study self-portraits by Frida Kahlo in this weekend workshop while painting your own self-portrait in a similar manner. Kahlo’s self-portraits are biographies, as she surrounds herself with symbolic images representing her life and emotions. Full of vibrant color and emotional intensity, Kahlo’s paintings resonate with passion for art and life. Working from mirrors, you will produce one self-portrait along with several painting sketches. Oil or Acrylic paints. Some painting experience recommended.
