Drop in anytime for a virtual session of our popular art-making series and experience The Met collection through creative challenges. This week, celebrate the natural beauty of summer by experimenting with line, color, and whimsy. This exercise is based on a 16th-century illuminated manuscript known as the Book of Flower Studies. Check out the inspiration image below, grab a pencil and paper, and get started whenever you're ready. Please note: This event is prerecorded.
