Art Explore—Saturday Afternoon Portfolio Class
(Ages 12–14)



Join a program of free classes devoted to understanding art and exploring the Museum. All classes are based on works of art in the Museum's collection.

Visitors ages 12–14 learn the fundamentals of drawing, using the galleries of the Museum as a studio. Techniques included are: exploration of line; the use of lights and darks to create form; understanding measurement and proportion; composition; and objects and figures to scale. Work with an artist-instructor to create drawings for your portfolio! Please bring a 9 x 12" sketchbook and pencils.

The classes are free, but registration is required. Enrollment is limited. To register, call 212–396–5121. Please provide the student's name, telephone number, school, email address, and the name of the class the student wishes to attend. Students should remember to check their belongings at the 81st Street coat check before their class begins. The classes start promptly!

Registration is closed.
