Drawing in the Galleries

Guided by a teaching artist, each 90-minute session provides instruction on a different topic. Classes are geared for participants ages 18 and up and take place monthly on Wednesdays, with two sessions offered: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 5:30 to 7 p.m. We will provide paper and pencil, but you are welcome to bring your own sketchbook. Pencils are the only drawing tool allowed in the galleries.

Studying the Neo-Classical Bronze Figure

Wednesday, June 13, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Bronze sculptors of the late 1800s used neo-classical techniques, combined with imagery from stories and fables, to explore the shape of the female figure. Students will study bronze figure sculptures in the Early Twentieth-Century Art Gallery, including Harriet Whitney Frishmuth’s Roses of Yesterday, John Bradley Storrs’s Night and Day, and Alexander Stirling Calder’s Stretching Girl.

The class begins near the main entrance of the Early Twentieth-Century Art Gallery.
