Invertebrate Wildlife Drawing class

Monday 2nd September 7pm - 9pm

Wild Life Drawing is delighted to support the Invertebrate Project in collaboration with the Royal Parks with a class championing the invaluable insects and invertebrates which play such a key part in our ecosystem. On Monday 2nd September we’ll be meeting, drawing and learning all about tarantulas, scorpions, giant African land snails, leaf insects, stick insects, cockroaches and giant millipedes. Although some of these animals are from hotter climates, we’ll be using this class as an opportunity to discover more about the indigenous invertebrates that we are more familiar with here in the UK – house spiders, garden snails and ant colonies that we find in our gardens and local parks. These complex creatures will be fascinating to draw and we’ll also be learning all about the bizarre lives the insects lead in the wild, how they reproduce and their super powers!

The drawing class is open to all, from beginners to advanced. All drawing materials are supplied, including paper, but please feel free to bring colours or any other specific media you might like to use. The aim is to inspire a sense of appreciation and understanding for the animals and their conservation in the wider world.

This event is part of Mission: Invertebrate, a Royal Parks Project that aims to further understand, celebrate and protect the invertebrates that are in our parks and beyond! Find out more about us here: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/get-involved/missioninvertebrate

This event is suitable for over 18's only.
