Develop drawing skills while engaging with works from the expanded AGO collection displayed in Frank Gehry-designed spaces. Drawing is about seeing. When we draw art, we have access to some of the process of how it was made, we glimpse some of what the artist saw and thought. In this course we move throughout the gallery, sketching from the masters, building intimacy with the works and spaces of the newly renovated AGO and developing our understanding of how art communicates. This course is designed for all levels of ability.
