Come meet artist Wendy MacNaughton and experience how drawing helps us see and connect with each other and the world around us! With a variety of activities on offer, including the global portrait project DrawTogether Strangers, families will learn about mark making and receive in-gallery prompts to help explore the museum and open a world of creativity. Wendy grew up visiting the de Young with her family and is excited to share her approachable take on how seeing the world and each other through drawing fosters curiosity, connection, and joy.
