On January 10th I visited the Minneapolis Institute of Art with my ceramics students to see the exhibit of China’s Terracotta Warriors. We went through the exhibit with a docent who had loads of information, but was in a rush to get us through to see what she had information about in a specific amount of time. I sketched as much as I could while we were there but was also supervising my students and trying not to loose our guide, who slid through the very crowded exhibit space like a ninja.
Our guide was quick to inform us that we could not take photos but she was surprised and had no real answer for me when I asked if I could sketch. I was the first person she had ask about sketching the warriors. I sketched and had no problems with museum staff at all. I did add all the paint on these pages at home, I didn’t need to get kicked out.
