Take part in an engaging, in gallery sketching experience with the exhibition 'Metamorphoses: Visions of Antiquity in the Modern Era.'Under the guidance of Artist Instructor Amanda McKinney Sparrow, students will explore a different subject matter in each session by sketching directly from the exhibition’s artworks.
