Fantastic Beasts and Where to Draw Them – Art Course for Children

Here, young museum visitors can get artistically close to the animals. Even shy specimens remain still until the work is completed. There are no limits to imagination, and perhaps entirely new species will be invented along the way! The exciting journey with paper, brush, and pencil is accompanied by course leader Katrin Neubert from Potsdam.
