ABSTRACT

Bird flight is more than just the bird moving straight wings up and down. There is, in fact, a very complex process of sequential action going on-founded on the anatomy of the bird in question. So study the video of a bird flying (in slow motion, if possible) and produce a minimum of 5 gesture sketches that define that action. If possible, also study the skeletal anatomy of the bird in question, which will indicate just how and why the wings move as they do. (Take no more than 4 minutes to complete each drawing.)
