Observational Drawing Using Unusual Specimens

The Field Museum's longtime artist in residence, Peggy Macnamara, leads a drawing session built around specimens most visitors never see. She shares her five-step approach to sketching the natural world—squint, crawl, locate, measure, correct—while participants try their hand with unusual objects from the museum's collections. This Wednesday, October 21, from 11 AM to 1 PM, museum admission covers the program, making it a smart add-on for anyone already planning a visit.
