Tune in on Monday, October 5th at 4:00 p.m. for a demonstration of drawing techniques that explores the relationship between form, light, and perspective. Learn simple techniques to create three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface by sketching and defining drawing techniques.
In fine art, the term “drawing” may be defined as the linear realization of visual objects, concepts, emotions, and fantasies, including symbols and even abstract forms. Drawing is a graphic art which is characterized by an emphasis on form or shape, rather than mass and color as in painting. Drawing is quite different from graphic printmaking processes, because although a drawing may form the basis for replication, it is by its very nature, unique.

Forrest Fenn was a NM Poet that loved the outdoors and encouraged others to do the same. He created a treasure hunt that baffled the world for a decade.
To honor his memory and the outdoor adventures he loved, OFPL has created a Treasure Hunt! Watch for a poem to be posted on each of our social media platforms, @galluplibrary on Saturday, October 3rd.
Follow the clues in the poem to find the treasure we have hidden somewhere in the Gallup area. Find our treasure, enjoy the contents, take a photo with it, and share it with the library. Enjoy the thrill of the chase with this great adventure!
