This exclusive workshop is dedicated to exploring the intricate iconography of Ganesha, one of the most widely revered deities in Hinduism.

In this short course, students will learn techniques used for proportional drawing and the attributes of this divine form, based on the traditions of the Shilpa Shastras of India.

During the 6 online sessions, students will be guided step-by-step through the process of constructing the form:

• Drawing the proportional grid and outlining the form based on talamana measurement system
