Art 101 Workshop—Portrait Studies (Morning Session)
Ever wanted to learn how to draw or paint but didn't know where to start? In this weeklong workshop, learn basic life drawing and painting techniques. Led by teaching artist Jaqueline Cedar, each three hour session begins with an introduction to the day's theme followed by sketching in The Met's galleries and supported studio work. Sign up for the morning or afternoon session, and spend the week looking at Greek sculptures, African masks, contemporary paintings, a live model, and more to investigate how artists observe the world around them. This course encourages you to experiment, practice, and take creative risks. Work with charcoal, watercolor, and acrylic paint while learning how artists translate observation into expressive portraits, capturing both form and meaning.
