    Lovely class - relaxing yet informative. Spending time at the MET every week was definitely a huge plus. Luke was our instructor - so knowledgable and so sweet! Really helped to get his feedback all along on the sketching

    I really enjoyed this class. After the last class, when I was walking through the Degas/Manet exhibit with some classmates, we talked about how the class had changed how we could look at the artwork. I feel like I improved as an artist over the class, and I enjoyed how many topics we covered. Liam did a great job as an instructor--he was very supportive and encouraging, and I really appreciated that.

    The class at the MET with teacher Jordin was wonderful. Jordin was very informative and patient with any requests from the students. It was also great to visit new galleries throughout the course to learn more about the Museum while learning new skills.
  • All Ages Adults and Teens 12+: Beginners and All Levels drawing at the MET

    It was wonderful to take the opportunity to draw, with a group at The Met. The group were very warm , and welcoming. It’s extremely intimidating to pull out your pencils and start to draw in such an esteemed location. Claire our instructor, eased us into the process, starting with blind contour drawings. The use of abstraction, is a great tool to ease expectations and give you the confidence to continue working and practicing your mark making. The 2 hours flew by, and some people decided to stay and continue the process after the class had finished. Thank you Claire for the encouragement and advice. I would highly recommend this class.
  • All Ages Adults and Teens 12+: Beginners and All Levels drawing at the MET

    I took the Beginner's Drawing at the MET class in August 2022 and really loved it. Just in 4 2 hour classes, we learned the basics of drawing figures, faces, different drawing techniques, and tricks. Our instructor - Jourdin - was amazing, so patient, so encouraging, extremely knowledgeable, and easygoing. Just the whole experience of drawing at MET is incredible. You finally have time to look at the art pieces you like for a long time, attempt at drawing them, get the feedback and support you need as well as admiring looks of people who pass you by. I highly recommend this class.

    Really enjoyed the class. Good intro to drawing and inspiring place to learn from the Masters in an amazing museum. Due to class size, when everyone attends class, you get little one on one time but some classes I got to spend a lot of time with the instructor who was very personable and knowledgeable. Definitely worth doing for overall experience.
