Philadelphia Zoo

We go on a field trip each year to the Philadelphia Zoo. Students draw and paint animals from life. Filling sketchbook pages with gesture drawings, students can later use these visuals in their own illustrations or animation sequences. We also visit the art department at the zoo. We get to see how they design exhibits, signage, tickets, posters, billbaords, etc. We see their advertising campaigns and new exhibits before the general public-pretty exciting! Above is a drawing from last year's trip by student Kim Hiles.
