Drawing Closer: Bird is the Word

The Manton Study Center for Works on Paper welcomes artists of all experience and skill levels to find inspiration in thematic selections from the Clark’s collection of works on paper. This month, let your creativity take flight alongside a grouping of prints, drawings, and photographs depicting birds. From ducks and chickens to ravens and sparrows, each of the works on display foregrounds the charms and particularities of our feathered friends. Enjoy an open session to participate in the tradition of copying earlier artworks or choose to practice fundamentals and explore ideas.

Basic materials are provided. Artists bringing their own supplies should note that only graphite pencils are allowed in the Study Center. Details: events.clarkart.edu
