Talk and draw: Cephalus carried off by Aurora in her Chariot image
Synopsis:

Gallery educators Carlo Corsato and Elisha Keyworth explore Agostino Carracci’s ‘Cephalus carried off by Aurora in her Chariot’, as featured in our free exhibition ‘The Carracci Cartoons: Myths in the Making’.  
 
First, listen to a brief talk, then respond by making your own work in this short, artist-led drawing session. Please have to hand a sharp pencil, paper and a rubber.
 
The session will take place online and will last about one hour.
Sometimes we might suggest using different drawing or craft materials, so, if you are able to, please keep a pencil case of different colours, a ruler and a pair of scissors nearby, as well as anything else you might like to experiment with.
