Event details
Art Making | Drawing from the Collections: Illustrating Horses
The Art Museum is partnering with the Arts Council of Princeton to provide free online art-making experiences. Weekly classes are taught by artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo over Zoom, so participants can join live from home. A variety of media and techniques will be explored using materials readily available. Each week’s lesson features works from the Museum’s collections and is introduced by an Art Museum Student Tour Guide.
This live art-making class is inspired by Frederic Remington’s Coming through the Rye. Remington’s ambitious bronze sculpture is based on a drawing from the 1880s and features four animated horses and riders in a composition remarkable for being largely elevated off the work’s base, with the leftmost horse completely suspended. In this class we will focus on drawing horses, with instruction on anatomy, movement, texture, and expression. In partnership with the Arts Council of Princeton.
