Drawing In The Galleries

Could There be a Better Place to Learn How to Draw?

Practice the basics or hone your sketching skills—and enjoy the Museum's vast collection at the same time! Whether you're a beginner or have been drawing for years, learn essential techniques, such as gesture and contour drawing, while developing your skills in the use of pencil and charcoal.

Our Drawing In the Galleries classes will be held from 6-7 p.m. every remaining Wednesday night in February (Feb. 8, 15, 22 and 29). All materials are included with each class.

Each class costs $10 for Members and $15 for all others, and you can save money by registering online before Feb. 7. The discount price for the series is $35 for Members, $50 for all others.

Ready to try? Register online or email education@chrysler.org if you have further questions.
