THE EVENT on SATURDAY

Yes, our focus for this Saturday's Virtual Sketch event will be our own hometown.  Since the pandemic started, each week, with the help of the internet we've been exploring the world with our drawings.  However, we've largely ignored our own wonderful city.   As a special treat for our visitors from other parts of the world, and as a reminder to us - let's share our love for the Big Apple.

Using the NYC Tourist website to frame our exploration, we've created an interesting day of sketching.  We are going to concentrate on Manhattan.  Although it is physically the smallest borough, in square miles, it is also probably the place most visitors picture when they picture New York. 

FOR THE MORNING

For the morning portion of our sketch, each breakout room will be assigned to a NYC neighborhood.  Everyone in your breakout room will be working on the same Manhattan neighborhood.  If you click on your assigned  neighborhood below it will take you to the Google Images search page.  You are welcome to use whatever source materials you'd like to complete the morning work
