Description
To coincide with our lecture from Dominic Blake, life model and art writer, we are hosting two life drawing sessions in partnership with Cambridge-based artists Issam Kourbaj and the Museum of Classical Archaeology.
Participants will be guided by Kourbaj to craft works on paper that respond to the body of a life model whilst being inspired by the surroundings of an exceptional cast gallery.
Life modelling by: Lily Burge-Thomas.
