Experience the Crocker's world-renowned collection and diverse exhibitions through discussion and artmaking, and let great art of the past and present inspire your own creative expression. 

Build your artistic repertoire in this four-class series designed to introduce and develop drawing technique. Draw from observation while learning about composition techniques like achieving 3-D effects via shading and cross-hatching. Begin with a simple still life before applying new skills to produce a final, complex drawing.

The Museum's highly trained staff and instructors are committed to providing students of all experience levels with a supportive and engaging experience. 

Advance registration required. Participants must provide some supplies.
