Program Description
Learn about the muralist Mantra, who paints giant trompe l'oeil insect shadow boxes on the sides of buildings around the world. You'll view slides of his work and pictures of the Harry C. Belcher Lepidoptera (butterfly & moth) Collection that's housed at Tufts Library in Weymouth Massachusetts.
Using images of butterflies, moths and beetles as reference, draw and paint your own realistic or imaginative insects and mount it in a paper shadow box.
