We will examine political art that engages ideas of animal rights, and art that uses animal imagery as metaphors for human emotions. We will visit a variety of art venues in New York City to see ways artists have used animal imagery.
We will use a variety of materials and techniques to explore how animals are presented in art and for what purpose. (We may even draw pot-bellied pigs one afternoon in Pennsylvania!) From these life studies students will create specific projects in and out of class. Students will draw directly from taxidermied animals at Wagner and at the Natural History museum, as well as live animals at zoos and the aquarium. Make, see and experience art all involving the theme of animals.
