Draw (and de-stress!) with virtual art classes inspired by our collections.

From coloring-book enthusiasts to professional illustrators, everyone loves colored pencils! For the winter installment of our popular virtual art-making series, rediscover the medium’s precision and versatility with guidance from artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo. Each week’s lesson will be inspired by a work in the Museum’s Orientation Gallery, where beloved works from our collections are back on view after six years. 

This week, learn how to amplify the richness and saturation of your colored-pencil drawings. Take a look at the suggested materials list, then register for this free Zoom class. Cosponsored by the Arts Council of Princeton.  
  
This event will include live closed captions in both English and Spanish. English captions are available directly in the Zoom toolbar by clicking the “CC” icon. To access Spanish-language captioning, open Streamtext, where you can select “Spanish” to see the live captioning.
