Drawing from the Collections: Illustrating Horses, Princeton University Art Museum

Thursday February 11, 2021
8:00 PM

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.
