What To Expect
The original New York City sketching experience returns for Spring & Summer 2024!
Embark on a sketching adventure through the iconic Grand Central Terminal & vibrant Midtown Manhattan with local artist & creativity guide Ben Ponté.
No prior sketching or art skills required. Pocket sketchbook included!
We meet in the magnificent Grand Central Terminal for introductions & warm-up sketching exercises to ignite creativity. From there, we sketch our way through the terminal & its surroundings, & with time & weather permitting, continue the exploration up to the NYC Public Library.
This is not a technical drawing class, but a way of using drawing to more fully experience & reflect on the visual energy of NYC. When we sketch we engage with what we see in fresh & exciting ways. Sketching allows us to pause, step back, & observe. It is a reflective experience that enlivens the senses & connects you with the source of your own creativity.
Ideal for solo travelers, couples, corporate teams, & groups of all kinds!
See also Ben's online experience 'Drawn from Within'. Both experiences are excellent for fostering individual creativity & team cohesion.
