CANCELLED: Sketching in the Galleries: Principles of Design, Exploring Format

We apologize for the inconvenience, this event has been cancelled. In consideration of the health and safety of visitors, volunteers, and staff, Mia is temporarily closed to the public.

If you’ve already reserved a ticket, we will automatically refund the cost of your ticket(s) to the original form of payment. Mia will be working over the next few days to process all refunds. For the most up-to-date information on Mia’s response to COVID-19, please continue to follow our website at artsmia.org, or our Facebook or Twitter updates.

Format is the shape of the two-dimensional picture plane one works on. It is most often rectangular and influences the content of a work. The artist manipulates the visual elements using the principles of design within their specific format to create the object of expression. We will look at works in the classroom to see how format affects their reading and explore this through drawing in the galleries.

To register, call (612) 870-6323 or reserve online. Also, please see our list of suggested materials.
