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

For the fall installment of our popular virtual art-making series, explore pastels with guidance from artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo. Each week’s lesson will be inspired by a work in the Museum’s collections. In this week's session, Barbara will guide participants in drawing the human figure, inspired by this Roman object depicting the Egyptian goddess Isis from the second–third century CE.
