Class Description

Description

Join professional artists for a weekly immersion into the vast collections of NYC’s beloved museum through drawing.

Learn to appreciate and render works of master artists and artisans from across the globe and time through careful observation and understanding. Together you’ll discover how to draw subjects like the intricate textures of Medieval textiles, the unique shapes of historical musical instruments, emotive portraits from Roman busts, elaborate patterns of Islamic ceramics, and much, much more.


Please Note: The instructor will contact the participants the night before the first class to confirm the meeting time/place. Generally, meet up at the Museum is at 1:00 PM. 

Please enter through the main entrance (up the stairs). Once in the Museum, go past the main information desk and veer left. Groups meet at the “Group Registration” desk, which is to the left and further back of the main information kiosk. PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME.
