Online adult courses on drawing, art, and architecture

Online Course: Spatial Awareness
 Thursdays, March 11–25
 6–7:30 pm ET

This three-part course, taught by educator Jackiie Popjes, will expand upon the history and particularities of the Guggenheim’s various exhibition spaces, and explore how Wright’s “temple of spirit” has been transformed by site-specific artworks. Featuring artists such as #hilmaafklint, #jamesturrell, and Danh Vo, the course will consider how the context of a space both impacts exhibition design and  installation, as well as how artworks are interpreted inside museums and beyond. Register by March 7.

Online Course: Drawing
 Fridays, March 26–April 16
 4–5 pm ET

This four-part series of drawing workshops led by artist and educator Stina Puotinen is designed to connect participants with their own creativity while engaging with the Guggenheim’s collection. Through conversation and observation, the class will cover a range of artists from #marcchagall to #karawalker with a focus on drawing methods and materials. Works discussed will inspire art-making prompts for participants to explore drawing through play and experimentation, using a range of techniques.

Looking ahead to April
