DRAWING GÖBEKLİ TEPE: THE WORLD'S FIRST TEMPLE

CLASS POSTPONED TO THURSDAY 1ST MAY

DRAWING GÖBEKLİ TEPE: THE WORLD'S FIRST TEMPLE

Journey back over 11,000 years to explore the awe-inspiring mystery of Göbekli Tepe, the world’s first known temple. This vast prehistoric site, with its towering T-shaped pillars and intricate carvings of animals and abstract symbols, rewrites our understanding of early human civilization. Who built it? Why was it buried? And what do its strange, powerful images mean?

In this class, we’ll take inspiration from Göbekli Tepe’s extraordinary stone engravings, using drawing techniques to explore its mesmerizing forms and textures. Through guided exercises, we’ll experiment with mark-making to evoke the weight of ancient stone, the movement of its carved animals, and the symbolic language of our earliest ancestors.

Designed for all levels, this session invites you to step into the world of the Neolithic and bring its forgotten art back to life on the page.
