Create your own portraits with Simon Levenson, Artist and National Arts Club instructor, after exploring portraits in the Morgan’s exhibitions. More than just a likeness, a portrait is a tool that communicates the character of its subject. Participants will be “commissioned” to draw portraits of special models, incorporating the character and likeness of their sitter into a portrait drawing, using pencil, charcoal, and chalk.
The Morgan's family programs offer a unique and engaging museum experience. Our innovative art workshops are designed for adults and children to complete together. They are limited to families with children and due to the use of special art materials are intended for the ages listed.
