Thursday, May 26: Introduction to Printmaking, 9 am – 4 pm

Friday, May 27: Sketch from Life, 9 am – 4 pm

Both new and experienced young artists are invited to build on their drawing skills as they practice drawing from life. Students will get to create their own sketchbooks, which they will use to practice contour, gestural, and figure drawing.

The Hunter Museum is looking for creative teens to serve on the Hunter Teen Council. This is a great opportunity for your students to take leadership roles in the arts, make new art-loving friends, and develop new skills and get “art world” experience.
