ART ON THE WING

Birds of prey have inspired artists from prehistoric times to the present day. Because the Wingmasters partnership is made up of an artist and a photographer who specialize in wildlife portraits, we are keenly aware of what fascinating models birds of prey make. The birds' appeal ranges from the calm majesty of the golden eagle to the elfin charm of the tiny saw-whet owl. The challenge to artists is to capture these qualities in the media of their choice. We have therefore designed this unique program to allow audiences to draw our birds from life. The presentation focuses on four live birds of prey. Each bird is displayed by the Wingmasters presenter for 10-15 minutes while the audience has the opportunity to draw and ask questions. The Wingmasters presenter will point out each bird's characteristics, guiding the audience toward a fuller understanding of what defines a bird of prey.
