In this class, we will learn the basic principles of self-portraiture with a focus on the idea of a self-portrait as a “map of our interior world.” Students will learn how to use introspection and artistic techniques to express themselves while having fun and letting go of the fear of making mistakes. Over the course of the two-day workshop, students will use different materials and exercises to help understand the possibilities of emotional expression through art.
Age & Ability: 18 and older, beginners welcome, free childcare provided on-site.
This workshop takes place Sat & Sun Aug 20 & 21, 10am–2pm.
