Drawing Session At The University Of Arkansas Museum
Class | Available
Connect with artifacts from the University of Arkansas Museum collection through a guided drawing experience led by School of Art assistant professor Jean Schmitt. We’ll start with a brief tour of the University of Arkansas Museum’s collections for inspiration. Afterward, through slow looking, fast looking, and a combination of the two we will use drawing to see objects in a new way. No experience is necessary, just come ready to unwind.
All art supplies for the class are included in the cost of the class.
Activity Level (for tour portion): 1
