Workshop
The Study of Symbols – The Form of the Animal
Drawing course by Felix Gephardt in collaboration with the Museum für Naturkunde
Observing and drawing animals is a journey full of discoveries!
To begin with, we’ll be drawing from masterpieces depicting animals. We’ll then turn our attention to the fascinating exhibits at the Natural History Museum. We’ll learn the basics of anatomy and a system for capturing correct proportions. We’ll also explore the interplay of light and shadow, the depiction of textured surfaces and, last but not least, compositional structure. With Felix Gephart, illustrator, author and muralist.
A fee of five euros is payable on the first session. From then on, entry to the museum is free of charge.
