    SKETCH IT: LANDSCAPE PASTELS Step into the role of an artist and sketch en plein air (outdoors) in the museum’s sculpture garden with both chalk and oil pastels. After learning about light, color, and sketching from nature, students will create original works of art which will be transformed into a 3-D landscape collage.
