The Art Museum is partnering with the Arts Council of Princeton to provide free online drawing classes. Weekly classes are taught by artist-instructor Barbara DiLorenzo over Zoom. With an emphasis on drawing with pen or pencil on paper, each week’s lesson will be inspired by works in the Museum’s collections. 

This live art-making class is inspired by Jiha Moon’s Rain Catcher. Inspired by art historical sources and popular culture—including thirteenth-century Taoist painting, American cartoons, Dr. Seuss books, and fortune cookies—Moon’s color-saturated print combines motifs to create an exuberant, dreamlike composition. Rain Catcher might be seen as a landscape, an information map, or a gestural abstraction—or all three at once. In this class we will brainstorm ideas using a prompt that can be developed into a finished illustration. We will discuss how illustration and fine art overlap in many aspects, and how they differ. 

Free registration via Zoom here. (when prompted, click to sign in as “attendee”)

This event will include live closed captions in both English and Spanish. English captions are available directly in the Zoom toolbar by clicking the "CC" icon. To access Spanish-language captioning, open Streamtext, where you can select “Spanish” to see the live captioning.

Para acceder a los subtítulos en varios idiomas, ingrese al seminario web de Zoom durante un evento en vivo, luego abra un navegador web separado para visitar esta página donde puede seleccionar "español" o el idioma de su elección.
