Animal Drawing at CALM March 13, 2010

What better way to re-live exciting moments at the California Living Museum (CALM) then by learning how to draw the animals you have seen? Acclaimed local artist Gita Lloyd will be offering age specific classes for children and adults from 1-4 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month, through May, teaching how to sketch animals as they appear in nature at CALM. Classes are $18 for CALM members and $20 for others. Pre-registration is required for all sessions. Cancellations cannot be refunded. Class dates and age levels are: March 13 Reptiles Up Close for ages 12-15 April 10 Herby Herbivores for age 16 and adult May 8 Beautiful Omnivores for ages 12-15 Supplies are provided and all skill levels are welcome to attend this amazing class where attendees will sketch live animals, learn basic drawing technique, learn to make a sketchbook journal and finish each class with a watercolor painting of one of CALMs ambassador animals. Students are encouraged to bring their own sketchbooks and pencils. CALM for 26 years has been home to animals that because of injury or abandonment cannot survive on their own in the wild. It is located at 10500 Alfred Harrell Highway, between Lake Ming and Hart Park in northeast Bakersfield.
