Sketch colourful insects from the Museum’s collection in this month's Digital Art Class.
Drawing inspiration from Museum Victoria’s collection, insects offer a stunning array of shapes, colours and textures, perfect for artists and nature lovers alike. From the rainbow colouration of the Madagascan Sunset Moth to the iridescent beauty of the Jewel Beetle, these specimens tell stories of both attraction and warning.
These sessions welcome all skill levels and provide a guided experience to creatively capture the unique details of each insect, from their delicate wings to their intricate surface textures, using the natural beauty of insects as inspiration while learning new digital techniques.
Held monthly in the Learning Lab, Digital Art Class blends art, science and technology, where participants can explore digital drawing on iPad Pros.
