The Advanced Drawing class at VCVAA took learning beyond the classroom walls with an outdoor session at the War Remnants Museum – a meaningful experience where students got to touch history through the lines and shades of their own sketches.
Carefully chosen perspectives, pencil strokes that captured form and detail, and a focused gaze – each sketch was more than just a study of light, shape, or composition. It became a reflection. A question. A quiet moment of contemplation about a time in history that still echoes through every artifact on display.
Creating art beyond the classroom offers young artists a chance to truly engage with objects, people and space. It opens the door for emotions and ideas to bloom into artworks. And here – among helicopters, tanks, and relics of a painful yet heroic chapter of the nation – art continues to nurture the soul and awaken deep human values.
