Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this drawing class:

Join this class at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for a series of drawing lessons based on the collections.


Tuition includes museum admission.


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.


Supply List:


Pencils

The Met Museum allows only pencil sketching – no charcoal or ink. Derwent Graphic and Cretacolor are excellent pencil brands.

  • Pencils graded 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B (these are soft graphite and give dark lines)

  • “DESIGN” gray kneaded eraser
  • “Staedtler” mars plastic white eraser or a gum eraser

Paper

  • Hot pressed watercolor paper is the best all-round drawing paper. Arches or TH Saunders are good brands. However, it is quite expensive. A standard pad of drawing paper will be fine for
