Join us for an all-ages art course where we’ll begin by learning the basics of drawing orcas and then progress into drawing specific individuals over the course of four weeks. During each of our hour-long sessions we will provide brief tutorials, followed by ample time drawing orcas through a step-by-step, repetitive process. We will share simple tips and tricks to understanding orca anatomy (body parts) and introduce the methods researchers use to tell individuals apart from one another. Sessions build on one another, resulting in a series of progressive sketches and two “final” drawings of individual orcas from both the Southern Resident population and the Bigg’s killer whale population. All you need is a drawing utensil, some paper, and the willingness to learn.
No special art skills are required.
Class fee is per household, so your whole family is welcome to join in!
