Drawing Closer: Illustrate It

Drawing Closer: Illustrate It Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes artists of all experience and skill levels to find inspiration in thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. February’s theme is “Illustrate it,” featuring prints and drawings intended for newspapers, magazines, and other editorial publications. The selected works will help participants develop their skills for producing works of a characteristically illustrative nature. Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas.
Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center.
Free. Advance registration required. Capacity is limited.
