Classes at the Museum of Fine Arts

One of Katie's Christmas presents this year was a ten-week Saturday art class at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, one of the oldest museums in the U.S.

The classes run for two hours Saturday morning, and usually include a visit to a different section in the museum as well as a project. This week's project was to first sketch and then paint on canvas a picture or statue from the American art section.
