Drawing Myths; Allegory and Narrative in the National Gallery.

For this day-workshop held in London’s National Gallery London Drawing Group will be delving in to the long and illustrious relationship between Mythology and Art. With a focus on tales from the Greek Myths, we will be leading a guided drawing tour of the gallery introducing you to some of the most famous works it holds, as well as some of its lesser known works, and exploring the myths that inspired them. Through talks on both paintings and the myths behind them, be prepared to see many paintings in a new light, and to explore the idea of Narrative through drawing. Expect art history knowledge and drawing exercises that aim to help even total beginners engage with the amazing resources that are London's museums and galleries.
