These Sketchers actually look good

(Rosetta Stone not necessary for translation. That is certifiable sarcasm.)   

 Whenever I even think of picking up a pen to draw something, I can hear Mike Meyers, during his SNL days singing, "Well you know my name is Simon and I like to do drawerings!" I like to do drawerings too. The problem is they look as good as Steven Tyler in those Stretch-Mants. Hard to look at and begging for some aesthetic intervention.

      If you're at all artistically challenged like me, you're in luck. The Getty Drawing Hour is hosted by an artist who can give you a few pointers.  Just bring your own drawing pad and pencil. All experience levels are welcome. Hey, even if what you end up wouldn't be frame-worthy for a 4th grader, you and your date can laugh about it and enjoy experiencing a museum in a more creative way. And be honest; when you have seen a person sketching away in a museum, you think they're the coolest person ever; IN THAT ROOM. I forgot to mention its FREE and the next one is this Sunday, March 18th from 3:30-5:30pm. Registration begins at 2:30 @ the Museum Information Desk. The Getty Drawing Hour happens every first and third Sunday of the month. After this Sunday the next one is April 1st.
