Venue: Workshop Room, G/F, Fung Ping Shan Building, UMAG
The fox in The Little Prince is an important character in the protagonist’s wondrous journey, inspiring him to reflect on life, relationships, and what truly matters. But what exactly is the fox’s secret? Perhaps every reader has their own interpretation. Yet have you ever imagined that you could re-create the fox with your own brush?
In this workshop, participants will begin by observing a real fox specimen, then explore different drawing techniques as they enter the imaginative world of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Through careful observation and creative expression, participants will bring to life a one-of-a-kind fox of their own.
This workshop is organised in collaboration with the Hong Kong Biodiversity Museum. We are grateful to the Museum for loaning the specimen for teaching purposes.
