Weekday Urban Sketchers Take a World Tour Thursday
First Japan then France....join in!
This week we will visit Japan and France, without leaving NYC! First we will sketch the Japan Exhibit at Grand Central Station, then we travel back in time to Paris in the 60's..
Japan Tourism Organization is hosting Japan Week with a Zen garden, traditional crafts, food and a look at the future of high tech gadgets. The story of Chiune Sugihara, Japan's Oskar Schindler will also be featured.
Eat while you draw or grab a bite on the way to the next destination: Fashion Institute of Technology to see the show Paris Refashioned 1957 - 68. This show examines the influence of French Haute Couture on popular culture around the world. The young rising stars of fashion who would become household names, were bringing in a new era of dressing that changed our perception of fashion to this day. See and sketch the early works of YSL, Nina Ricci, Balenciaga, Pierre Cardin and many more.
