Join Michelle McCunney ’84 — the artist behind the Library’s Campus Critters at Work and Play exhibit — for an animal drawing workshop focused on introducing animal drawing techniques. Through a combination of slow and quick practice exercises, participants will explore capturing shape and movement in their animal drawings. This workshop is perfect for those looking to improve their skills in drawing animals with pencils and chalk pastels.

This workshop is free, and registration is required. All materials are provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring their own sketchbook or drawing pad.

Space is limited to 30 attendees. Registration is required to secure your spot, but walk-ins will be accommodated if space allows.
