This live art-making class is inspired by this ceramic red-figure fish plate, attributed to the Asteas-Python workshop in Paestum, an ancient Greek coastal city in Magna Graecia (what is now southern Italy), made in the fourth century BCE. In this session, we will draw several of the sea creatures featured on this plate including a fish and an octopus
