Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this on location drawing class:

Learn to draw in just two hours. Can’t draw a straight line? Used to love to draw (20 years ago) and feel a bit rusty? Then this class is for you. 

Everyone can draw, including you. Tap into your inner-artist in this encouraging, non-judgmental drawing class as you:

  • Relax and enjoy the magical medium of drawing
  • Get inspired by the stunning scenery of Central Park from within the walls of the renowned Metropolitan Museum of Art
  • Feel nurtured as you learn, explore and practice drawing techniques such as composition, shading, depth, line, dimension, and your own unique self-expression
  • Receive one-on-one expert art instruction
  • Enjoy the Roof Garden Martini Bar or Great Hall Balcony Bar for live music and drinks on your own after your drawing class (optional, not included in class)
  • Receive the health benefits of drawing, such as deep relaxation, stress release, increased memory and focus, and of course, enjoyment

Students that were "total beginners" from our past drawing class experiences created incredible drawings right away.

The museum entrance fee is also included.

Meeting Location and Time: Group meets at flowered pot next to the group desk in THE GREAT HALL 15 minutes before class start time. Latecomers will find group at Temple of Dendur in Egyptian Wing.

    Lovely intro class with a friendly, knowledgable instructor. The Saturday crowds at the Met receded into the background as we focused on contour, light and shading, and learned some techniques for pencil control. First hour was instruction and exercises, and in the second hour we put our new knowledge into practice as we went into the galleries to draw from observation, as the instructor went around to each of us offering suggestions and comments, atelier-style.

    The teacher was AMAZING, and so was the experience of being in the museum. However, my one complaint is that this class needed way more than 2 hours. For the price and work we were doing it was not even close to enough time to complete one project, let along two. The other beginner's classes I have taken, which were mostly just drawing stages of still lives, were 3 hours, and some even let us run over. They should consider either lowing the price or making the class longer, as a trip downtown to the museum and then to spend under two hours drawing felt a bit wasteful.

    Not much direction was given - I really didn't learn much and only got two small one-on-one sessions, about 3 minutes each. The instructor didn't even tell me when the class was over, I just noticed it was 5:30 pm and she had left.

    It was a fun activity and the instructor was very nice. It just didn't feel like amazing value for money. We were only given lead pencils and a couple of pieces of paper. I guess the Met restricts the use of other art materials.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students in the Beginner's Drawing class at the MET praised the knowledgeable and helpful instructors, mentioning that they received step-by-step instructions and guidance throughout the class. The opportunity to draw in the beautiful museum setting was also appreciated. Overall, the most insightful quotes came from students who had positive experiences and felt they learned techniques for shading, contouring, and proportion. Insightful Quotes: - "The instructor was able to help me teach me some techniques of shading and contouring. In general, I thought it was a great, informal class for a beginner or someone who is looking to draw for fun or hobby." - "The techniques she shared were conceptually very easy to understand. Using them practically took a minute or two to grasp but overall the class was great." - "Zoey was an incredible teacher. She is very attentive and helpful to students of all levels. Even in a two-hour class, Zoey was able to provide individual instruction and advice."
