Then, participants will go off individually or in groups, whatever people prefer, before meeting up again at 4:30 p.m. to have a look at one another’s sketchbooks. The day will include a scavenger hunt, hunting for a list of things to find and sketch. “You don’t have to follow it,” Scully said, “but, if you do, you’ll get a sticker!” Free and open to the public — and kid-friendly. All you need is something to draw with and something to draw on! (And if you run out of those, the campus bookstore has great art supplies.)
