Drawing Worlds: Outreach Art Workshop

Gallery educators bring original artwork and supplies for an art making activity right into your classroom! British printmaker and painter Ernest Lumsden worked to document the spirit of the people and places he encountered during his world travels in the early 20th century. Students use Lumsden’s detailed etchings of portraits and cityscapes as inspiration for drawings, with emphasis on line, tone, and gradation. Echoing Lumsden’s often postcard-like prints, students create multi-media images of real and imagined places.
