Family Day: Exploring Superheroes

*When asked what three pieces of advice he'd offer young and aspiring artists, Ross explains, "Figure drawing, figure drawing, figure drawing. Don't ever think you can have that one licked. It will always be the thing you need to work harder on. That applies to myself and to everyone active in the field."*

Join us Saturdays in July for a superhero themed life drawing workshop. Inspired by Marvelocity: The Art of Alex Ross, students will explore various drawing techniques, capturing the complexity of the human form and dynamic superhero costumes. Both short and long poses will be explored. Sign up for 1 or multiple sessions! All levels and media are welcome. Please bring a drawing pad and drawing utensils of your choosing. 

Want to sign up for more than one Saturday? Select your choice of date and checkout to register!

Fee includes admission to the Museum. Arriving early to view the exhibition is encouraged!

Costumed Figure Drawing

There’s a superhero inside each and every one of us.  We are all unique, special and creative.  We just don’t often get a chance to outwardly express that part of ourselves.  What does your inner superhero look like?  What’s your superpower?  Spark your creativity and show us!  Dress up as your own superhero, your avatar or your favorite Marvel character and join us for a day of super-fun!  We’ll be dressing up too!

Enjoy *Marvelocity: The Art of Alex Ross* along with themed music, giveaways, and a Super Raffle, where you can enter to win a Super Marvel Swag Bag.

Festivities last all day, so each ticket time is sure to be a Super one!
