Understanding Aphrodite Through Classical & Expressive Drawing

Join artist Marco Luccio for an intermediate drawing workshop centred around the Hellenic Museum’s cast statue of Aphrodite – the very statue that inspired Luccio’s current Hellenic Museum exhibition, Reverse Archaeology: Metamorphosis of Aphrodite.

In this two and a half hour session, Luccio will guide a small group of participants through a series of Classical and expressive techniques, creating works with a great sense of movement and power. As the group works through the various exercises, they’ll also gain a deeper insight into the goddess – including her mythology, symbolism, and Marco’s own insights on his exhibited works – giving participants the opportunity to imbue their expressive works with a greater sense of character.

Materials to bring

• Sketchbook – maximum size A3
• Greylead pencils – 2B preferred
• Sharpener
• Eraser

Other information

• To ensure participants receive a tailored experience and personalised feedback from Marco, places in this session are strictly limited. Book promptly to avoid missing out.
• Tickets include general entry to the Hellenic Museum before or after the workshop.
