ΕVENT ABSTRACT
Kate Ogden, Professor of Art History, will present an interactive workshop on the influence of Greek art and mythology over the centuries. Greek myths, characters, and works of art have inspired many later artists, from the Ancient Romans and Renaissance artists to the present day. With the use of an illustrated PowerPoint, Professor Ogden will guide students through visual analysis using a series of comparative images. As with literature, in which writers make decisions about style, word choice, and narrative structure, painters make choices about materials, color, composition, and other elements of art. Among the many Greek subjects that have been explored by later artists are The Sleeping Ariadne, Apollo and Daphne, Theseus and the Minotaur, and the Judgment of Paris.
