Guided by local artist, Courtney Blazon, participants will design and draw their own chimera—a fantastical creature composed of three of their favorite animals. We’ll begin by looking at examples of mythological hybrids and contemporary mash-ups for inspiration, then explore ways to combine features such as wings, tails, fur, scales, or horns into one cohesive creature. Specimens from our collections can provide models for your creation- we have a little bit of everything!
Using a mix of drawing materials—such as graphite, ink, colored pencil, and crayons—participants will learn techniques to layer textures, blend different styles, and bring their chimera to life with depth and personality.
Enjoy a beverage: wine, beer, or bubbly water and snacks while you work!
