Create a piece of ‘animalistic human’ art at workshop
Live animal models provided by Happy Hen Animal Sanctuary, Pacific Wildlife Care, caring owners
– Create an artwork mirroring your psyche through animal form with a guided Jungian approach at an upcoming workshop at Art Center Morro Bay. Each session will include guided focus and silent self-inquiry, anatomy observation, animal symbolism, making collage, notes, sketches, and the creation of the final artwork. You will complete a surreal fusion of your inner self-image with an animal archetype through a live animal model, which will be present at the studio.
Attendees will use different art mediums, techniques, and collage according to their skills. Experience how to remove obstacles and self-judgment, focus on process, and let the art happen. Live animal models are provided in partnership with Happy Hen Animal Sanctuary, Pacific Wildlife Care, and caring owners.
