Drawing from Antiquity: Beautiful Folds, Sculpted Drapery

GETTY VILLA

The Getty Villa


This is a past event


The depiction of fabric in ancient sculpture can create movement, enhance the human body, and even identify a figure. In this workshop, explore the Villa’s galleries looking closely at different types of fabric folds in marble and bronze, then draw a sculpture that inspires you. Sign up begins 15 minutes before the start of the program at the Tour Meeting Place. This is a free program.
