We discussed sketching animals at the zoo on Monday. I've got some info for those interested.
Normal hours are 7am to 2pm (4pm on weekends) $14 admission
They have special friday night hours, 6pm-9pm for only $4 but not all the zoo will be open.
I copied the following from the zoo's website.
Because some of our animal will be resting in the evenings, not all zoo trails will be open – but look for some of your favorites including:
* Elephant – from the new viewing area
* giraffe & watusi cattle
* zebra
* flamingo
* otter
* orangutans till 7 p.m.
* Monkey Village till 7:30 p.m.
* Arizona Trail will be open all evening
What say the group? Want to try the friday night thing? I am free anytime. |

the friday night thing sounds good because its cheaper, but I wanna see the lions and tigers :(
I dunno...maybe we should just go at 7 in the morning so it will be cool and the animals will be out? |

| That's okay Dani. We didn't talk about it at the meeting monday anyway. Perhaps the next friday after that, the 27th of June? |

Man I know, this heat (>_<) and it's just getting started!
There is still the Zoo's cheap friday evening event...
I suppose we could sketch people at a mall.
Have you ever taken a sketchbook to an art museum and done sketch copies of your favorite paintings? I've done that before. The Phoenix art museum has a free day...let me check when...
okay it looks like evenings only,
first friday of the month 6-10pm
every tuesday evening 3-9pm
(of course that doesn't include special exhibitions)
btw, this exhibition looks cool but it's not till Nov.

'course it's not the same as drawing elephants and tigers. :-(
any of these options interest the group? |

At the spur of the moment, I went to the Zoo this morning by myself. From 7:00am to 9:00am it's actually not bad, heat-wise. Once it hits 9 though, it's a rapid accent to hellish temps. Here's some pics and sketches I did.
Captain Planet trashcan?
Verdict: as long as it's cool-ish and you stay in the shade, I really enjoyed it. But considering the $14 entrance fee, it might be better to wait till the fall to get your money's worth. I suppose it depends on how long you intend to stay there. |
