Join our free, live online class inspired by the aviary at Waddesdon Manor, specifically for art educators. Using specially filmed footage of the aviary, its birds and its striking architecture, you'll draw alongside a practising artist and explore the Royal Drawing School's distinctive, practice-led approach to observational drawing. You'll move through a series of drawing exercises, discovering ways to capture the movement and character of exotic birds, respond to the shapes and structures of the aviary's architecture, and turn close observation into creative ideas. Designed for Art and Design teachers and art educators, the session connects directly with the observational skills and creative processes at the heart of both GCSE and A-Level qualifications. Classes are not recorded. Chat support available during the session. Bring charcoal in a range of thicknesses, pencils 4B or softer, coloured media, eraser, and cartridge paper in a range of sizes from A5 to A1. You will need a phone, tablet, or laptop as the session will be live-streamed on YouTube.
