Weekday Urban Sketchers at Onassis Society And St. Pat's


We tend to think of Greek sculpture as a static art form: beautiful but removed and remote.  The current exhibit at the Onassis Society is bringing this art form to life in "A World of Emotion: Greece from 700 BC to 200 AD".   Gathered from around the world, this show features pieces never seen outside of Greece: statues, vases, theatrical masks, amulets, coins and votive offerings will explore the attitudes of people in classical antiquity that would resonate in our modern world.








Located on 5th Ave just north of St. Pat's, we will be able to capture the ancient world for our morning project.  After lunch we will reconvene in St. Patrick's Cathedral to draw the beautiful gothic structure and many artifacts and statues.
