Thunder Mountain High School art students recently received an unexpected shipment.<\/p>\n
It contained about two dozen deer drawn on glass by New York City artist Ian <\/a>Sklarsky<\/a>, whose work inspired a recent drawing class project.<\/p>\n “I had no idea he would even do that,” art teacher Angela Imboden said. “I didn’t know what he was going to send.”<\/p>\n [You’ve got one month to see this art show<\/a>]<\/ins><\/p>\n Sklarsky sent about two dozen drawings of deer on glass for the Thunder Mountain students.<\/p>\n The works are similar to prints found on Sklarsky’s online shop<\/a> for $75, but students received original works on glass and no two are totally alike.<\/p>\n Each tiny pane includes an edge covered in colored wax, which is one of Sklarsky’s signatures.<\/p>\n The gifts made their way to students because the young artists tried their hands at blind contour drawing, a type of art that uses one continuous line to depict a subject — like an Etch A Sketch.<\/p>\n Students then filled in the drawings with water colors.<\/p>\n The art style was inspired by a TED Talk Sklarsky gave about his art, which the students watched in class.<\/p>\n Since Sklarsky generally draws others, the class opted to draw the artist and shared the resulting pictures with him<\/a>.<\/p>\n “He thought they were awesome,” Imboden said.<\/p>\n
