What Is “Your Daily Sketch”?
Your Daily Sketch is a daily feature that celebrates the rich tapestry of art history. Every morning, it highlights one or more significant events that happened in the Art World—then pairs that moment with a custom sketch prompt inspired by it.
You’ll see events like:
- Birthdays of influential artists
- Death anniversaries of legendary creators
- Breakthroughs in an artist’s career
- Founding of major museums and art schools
- Openings of historic exhibitions
- Publication of manifestos and movement-defining texts
- Artists’ travels that shaped their work
- Inventions of new art materials and tools
Each entry begins with a bolded phrase—click it to instantly search Google and learn more about the event. Whether it’s the birth of Paul Revere or the first Impressionist exhibition, you’re just one tap away from deeper context and inspiration.

Or maybe it’s the day the “Mona Lisa” was first exhibited in New York. Your prompt could be:
