Brilliant Golden Monkeys

Category: Art of Conservation (AoC) | Date: Jul 10 2008 | By: Julie

Team AoC sends their condolences to the families and friends of the individuals killed and a speedy recovery to the people injured in Virunga National Park on 9 July 2008.

LESSON IN ART CAPTURING FACIAL EXPRESSIONS, Part 2

A previous lesson exposed our students to drawing an anatomically correct GOLDEN MONKEY, one of the endangered animals living in the nearby Virunga Forest.

Today, Valerie, Eric, Fahad, and I encourage free play as students draw a golden monkey’s face with what they imagine to be its happy expression.
