Draw dinosaurs with an expert artist and scientist! Dr. Emily Willoughby will give a virtual talk about paleoart -- the art and science of drawing dinosaurs – and then you’ll get to put those lessons into practice! All materials provided, no drawing experience needed.

The live drawing portion of this ArtSpace series will be hosted on Thursday at 4:00 p.m. at the Waldo Branch. On Saturday at 2:00 p.m., we will be following along to Dr. Willoughby's pre-recorded drawing class, specially made for the Alachua County Library District.
