Public Tour: Sketching Tour

Explore the national collection on this in-depth sketching tour.

This engaging sketching tour will incorporate rich historical information, art appreciation and lightly facilitated tuition. Sketching directly from art objects enhances our observational skills, fosters a deeper understanding of visual form, and strengthens our ability to perceive the world around us. 

On this tour, our expert artist educators will guide you as you look closely at artworks from the collection and respond through your own expressive mark-making.  All materials are provided, and no artistic training or ability is required, simply a desire to look, learn and respond creatively!

• We will provide clipboards, paper and pencils.
• Meet your tour guide in our Atrium, near the Merrion Square information desk.
• This tour takes place at 1pm on the first Saturday of every month.
• Read our Visitor Guide for details of what to expect on your visit to the Gallery.
