Where will we meet?
We will meet in the Greek and Roman Art hall inside the museum. You must purchase a ticket to the Met Museum for entry.
What type of charcoal can I use?
Charcoal pencils only! The Met Museum has rules against loose charcoal, so we must only use charcoal (or graphite) pencils.
Will my ticket to the class get me into the museum?
No!!! This class is organized through Drawing New York. Drawing New York is not affiliated with the Met Museum education center. The ticket purchased through this website will gain you entry to the class, but you must also purchase a ticket to the Met Museum. If you live in NYC, bring your ID for a pay-what-you-wish ticket to the museum!
