Last Friday we wrapped up the Osher class Drawing in the Museum. We had a lot of fun!
Here's a look at some of my sketches.
The Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History allow artists to bring in only a sketchbook and pencils. Turns out, having a limited list of supplies simplifies the drawing process and helps me to kick my creativity into gear. The art and artifacts in the museums are fascinating, and you can imagine yourself as an early adventurer sketching a Native American mask (above) or a Goliath Beetle (below).
Next time you plan a visit to a museum, or even a new park or cultural spot, make it an adventure and record what you see with a pencil and a sketchbook!
An urn in the Hall of Architecture.
Details on a statue.
A detail of a lion capturing a horse in the Hall of Architecture.
I hope you'll take yourself on an art date, and bring your sketchbook along.
