Created by Rey Bustos, this class is intended to augment the skills of entertainment and character designers by bringing in anatomy and mechanics into the process of character design. Invent a completely imaginative animal or creature while keeping to the same logical rules of human and animal anatomy. With Rey’s excitement and deep knowledge of all things anatomical, he will guide you first in drawing, then sculpting a creature from your imagination that will make sense in terms of realism. This is a great way to learn how and why we are different from other animals and how species evolve.
SPECIAL Natural History Museum - Join us for a very special tour of the Dinosaur exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles hosted by two Paleoartists who work at the museum. Learn a great deal of information on the history of these dinosaur bones and the process they go through to be reconstructed and put on exhibit. This tour provides the viewers with a great amount of general information on each of the dinosaurs from the Tyrannosaur to the Triceratops and how they were able to make certain inferences about the dinosaurs due to the fossils. Get an in-depth look into the Public Prep Lab or “Dino Lab,” the lab used to prepare and clean dinosaur fossils as far back as the Mesozoic period.
