About this Event
Drawings of industrial equipment can be mesmerizing works of art. They can also be technical challenges. Join industrial artist Alex Karnes in the first ever sketching session at NMIH. Alex will guide participants as they put pencil to paper, envisioning massive engines, pumps, and machine tools through their own style. Being a licensed steam engineer, Alex will also explain what is being sketched, the relationships between parts, their proportions, how people interacted and worked with the machines, and how to accurately imagine and blur motion to bring pieces to life.
Anyone wishing to display their work created at this session will be welcome to place it in a pop-up exhibit, to be held the following night as part of NMIH's First Friday event.
Space is limited to 15 participants. Advance registration is recommended. No experience is necessary. Please bring your own sketchpad.
