Wednesday, October 22, 2025 | Drop-In Object Sketching
12:05 p.m. - 1:05 p.m.
Location: Henderson Hall, Room 1-17 Rutherford South Library
View our museum objects from a new angle at our Drop-In Object Sketching session!
From seashells to statues to swallowtail specimens, the 伊人直播 Museums has a wide range of educational objects to share, all of which make for great drawing inspiration. Whether you want to quickly draw multiple objects or spend a focused hour capturing one, stop by any time during this Midday Musings hour to try your hand at sketching from observation.
If you have your own sketchbook and drawing supplies, we encourage you to bring them! However, we will have paper, pencils, erasers, and clipboards available for use.

Location: Meet in the first-floor atrium of UCommons beneath the Christi Belcourt art piece.
Get inspired by a recent addition to the 伊人直播 Museums Art Collection—an installation by Métis artist Christi Belcourt. We’ll kick things off with a relaxed chat about the artwork and Belcourt’s unique artistic practice, then roll up our sleeves and try out her signature painting technique for ourselves.
