Urban Sketchers Seattle enjoyed sketching at the Burke Museum so much in March that we went back for more. This
time we were invited by the Burke to create an event that would encourage other
visitors to sketch at the museum, too. The Burke provided sketching materials
and a clothespin line where participants could hang their work.
It was tough competing with 65 degrees and sunshine outside,
but the museum managed to entice a few visitors indoors. We all found new
artifacts to sketch, and Kay was especially enthusiastic in encouraging young
sketchers to participate.

fabulous. What a great initiative by you and the Burke Museum. Were people keen to join in or just curious to look?
ReplyDeleteDo you think that you will repeat it another time?
Thanks, Alissa! I do think the kids who participated had fun! I hope we'll be invited back again sometime!

What a great idea! As a child who sketched, drew and colored all the time, I would have loved having an opportunity like this. I hope more occasions like this will become available to art-inclined people of all ages!
