    I had and absolutely lovely time drawing at the Met. I have been to the Met many times but this was the first time I stopped to draw. Drawing with an instructor opened a whole new way to observe art. Lo is a knowledgeable and skilled instructor. I highly recommend this experience with Lo for anyone wanting to gain a greater understanding of art at the Met
