This past Tuesday was the final workshop of our Earth Lab series this year. Teaching Artist Elisabeth Heying guided a drawing workshop using charcoal. She began the workshop by demonstrating how drawing techniques, tools, and different types of charcoal can be used to create diverse visual contrast and texture. After the demonstration, participating youth experimented with charcoal and explored these methods and tools to create their own unique drawings.

Thank you to everyone that participated in our final workshop. Please stay tuned for more information on our continual activation of Western Sculpture Park
