Sketchbook Club: M.C. Escher, Crystal

M.C. Escher, Crystal, 1947, mezzotint, Cornelius Van S. Roosevelt Collection, 1974.28.31

Join us as we sketch 3D shapes in abstract landscapes inspired by M.C. Escher’s Crystal.

This is one club where you don’t need a membership to join! National Gallery of Art teaching artists will lead free, 30-minute sketches inspired by works of art from the National Gallery’s collection. Add new drawings to your sketchbook or just doodle along with us as we explore a different prompt each session.

All you need are a pencil and paper. We encourage you to bring colored pencils, crayons, markers, or paints as well, but these are optional. Sketchbook Club is recommended for families with children of all ages.
