FABULOUS BEASTS - February Half Term 3D art Workshop 

Sunday, January 24, 2010 at 01:48PM

Inspired by the 'The Book of Imaginary Beings' of Jose Luis Borges, informed by real animals and people, we will explore the images that are evoqued by the Sphinx, the Cheshire Cat, the Chimera or the Eastern Dragon, we will combine various elements of different animals and create fabulous monsters.

During this workshop, you will experiment with sketching from life at the Natural History Museum. You will then use your sketches and create drawings of your Fabulous Beast , before making a 3d model.
