Robert Barrett, a BYU Department of Visual Arts professor, helped out with a sketch night at the Animal Inside Out exhibition at The Leonardo, a contemporary museum in Salt Lake City for science and culture. About twenty artists joined Barrett for a night of sketching a variety of animal models. The museum is showcasing several different animals, each of which is opened up and preserved, providing artists with the unique opportunity to sketch their muscles and deeper anatomy.
