Before making the pristine marble sculptures he’s remembered for, Antonio Canova produced small clay models at lightning speed. Teens are invited to take inspiration from the master sculptor and Canova: Sketching in Clay to learn the art of thumbnail sketches and explore themes of ideal beauty and mythology.

Led by teaching artist Erica Scott, you’ll make sketches of your own before reinterpreting them in a finished charcoal drawing.
