About this Event
'Mythic Forms: Transforming the Human Body Into Figures of Legend'
The human body has always been a starting point for myth. Across legends, it is reshaped and reimagined, becoming something more than human. It can carry immense strength like Hercules, hold dangerous power like Medusa, or channel elemental force like Thor. Some bodies become weapons, others vessels of power, while some are defined by a single fragile point. In myth, the body is never fixed. It evolves, distorts, and takes on meaning beyond its form.In this session, we will transform each pose into a mythic form, where every gesture reveals a new attribute. Inspired by legends from different cultures, we will create figures that shift between human and other; each with their own logic, limits, and story.

We create a welcoming and warm environment for all backgrounds, demographics, and skill levels at this creative social life drawing event to meet, drink, draw, and create! We do not instruct; instead, we invite participants to share. We believe that art connects people, and sharings improve creativity!
