Your Host
Annie Yi
Digital Content Writer and Producer at National Gallery of Art.
Washington, D.C., USA
I’m a writer for the National Gallery of Art, where I previously led tours for 5 years as a docent. My work involves excavating the hidden stories behind artwork that help us see our fellow human beings more clearly. And hopefully those stories make it irresistible for you to step through the museum doors. From 2021 to 2023, I had the immense privilege of conducting CreativeMornings’ beautiful content universe, where I penned the Weekly Highlights newsletter and wrote about what it means to lead a creative life. đ Waving from Washington, DC.
About this FieldTrip
Zoom Zoom Drawing Club is for anyone who wants to draw with other people, over Zoom. It really is for anyoneââyou can be a beginner who needs a little bit of encouragement, or a seasoned artist who just wants some company, or someone in between who just wants to draw. All levels are welcomed!
There wonât be any critique or instructions. Weâll draw for half an hour. After that there will be a 15-minute session for those who want to share their drawings.
Drawing experience isnât required! Just bring a pen and a piece of paper and draw.
âšWHAT TO EXPECT
âïž (5 minutes) Weâll start with a couple of prompts and drawing inspirations for those who need a bit of a spark.âïž (30 minutes) Weâll draw together! There will be some background music, but feel free to mute and put on your own music or podcast.
âïž (15 minutes) Show & tell time for those who want to share their drawings! Completely optional.
đWHAT TO KNOW OR BRING
âïž Whatever you need to draw. The very basics: some paper + pens.đ Join the 15-Minute After Party!
FieldTrip After Parties are an experiment in creating opt-in spaces for more connection among FieldTrip Goers via Breakout Rooms.đ Meet participants from around the globe. Your next collaborator, friend, or spark of inspiration could be just one breakout room away. Bring your insights, questions, and ideas to the table. This is a space for mutual inspiration and shared growth!
đ Your FieldTrip Support Person will give you instructions on how to join at the end of the FieldTrip!
â° The 15 minutes is in ADDITION to the event time on the page, so add a buffer to your calendar!

How to make the most of FieldTrips
The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Show up fully
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Stay curious
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Celebrate your host
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Support each other
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŠâ in conversation.
Not vibing?
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
