SUMMARY:Drawing in the Galleries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our popular Drawing in the Galleries program this month during Studio Saturday! Amanda Hughes leads participants in a creative exploration of a particular object in the Ackland’s collection. \nParticipants all draw from one object using their own gallery-safe materials (paper/notebooks and dry media like crayons and pencils)\, then discuss what they’ve noticed through the process of drawing. \nThis is a free public program. No registration required; all skill levels are welcome.
