Make it Wild: Pencil Portraits: Drawing Your Beloved Pets

In this class, instructor Dahee Kim will guide you through the fundamentals of drawing with pencils. We’ll focus on using just pencils and erasers—sometimes even without an eraser—to explore the versatility of this medium.

Throughout the course, you will learn essential techniques for creating value, texture, and contrast. We’ll discuss how to observe your subjects closely and translate those observations onto paper, bringing your drawings to life. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this class will provide you with the tools and confidence to express your creativity through pencil drawing. Join us for an engaging and inspiring artistic journey!

This class will take place from 6 – 8 p.m. on January 7, in the Museum Classroom.

Make it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program.
