Drawing After Hours at UCL Museums

Artist Lucy McGeown will be leading drawing based workshops for adults looking at 2D and 3D collections at UCL Grant Museum of Zoology and UCL Art Museum, inspired by THE HERDS and supported by Art Fund. Participants will be working directly from a curated selection of prints, drawings, taxidermy and bones of animals, birds and mammals. In each class we will be using artifacts from each museum to show the interesting connections between artworks across time and in different forms. Lucy will guide participants through a series of observation drawing exercises, with a final imaginative exercise in which we explore the future relationship between humans and animals. All workshops will share similar content but we are making the most of using two museums, located near Gower Street on the UCL Bloomsbury Campus, so that participants can respond to pieces in the collection that cannot be moved. All Activity Dates: Wednesday 7th May (UCL Art Museum), Wednesday 4th June (UCL Grant Museum of Zoology), Wednesday 11th June (UCL Art Museum), Wednesday 18th June (UCL Grant Museum of Zoology)
