Tell A Story: Sketch A Horse (Part I)

Three free sessions of horse-themed programs will take place at 10:30-noon, 1:00-2:30, and 3:00-4:30. Led by master artist Kim Eslinger, the sessions are designed for a mixed-aged audiences of adults and children with chaperones. Each is designed as a stand-alone program, but will include elements that can be built upon by attending successive sessions. Drawing materials will be provided. This session will demonstrate how to begin a gesture drawing and discuss the process needed to flesh out a sketch using basic shapes. Participants will incorporate elements of these techniques into their own creations while discussing basic horse anatomy, perspective, and proportion. This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
