Class Experience

Many artists throughout the ages have been inspired by the creative and dramatic tales from Greek Mythology and have created beautiful paintings based on ancient Greek Gods, Goddesses, heroes and monsters. In this class we will look at some of these paintings and learners will be welcome to interact and share if they have heard of the myths that inspired them. Learners will also be encouraged to make their own observations of each painting regardless of their Greek Myth knowledge. This class is open to everyone and no prior knowledge is required. A fun storytelling session while looking at famous paintings! Below is a list of some of the paintings we may discuss in this one-off class:
Echo and Narcissus - John William Waterhouse 
Pallas Athena and the Centaur – Sandro Botticelli
The Birth of Venus - Sandro Botticelli
Minerva Punishing Arachne by Peter Paul Rubens
Odysseus and the Sirens – John William Waterhouse
The Lament for Icarus – Herbert James Draper
Ariadne Abandoned by Theseus, Discovered by Bacchus - Angelica Kauffman
Narcissus - Caravaggio
