PLEASE CLICK HERE TO READ OUR CANCELATION POLICY

Let’s take a look…at ourselves! Artists throughout the centuries have used self-portraits as a means of self-exploration, self-expression, and self-promotion. These artworks often serve as a visual autobiography, capturing the person at a particular moment in time and revealing something about their personality, emotions, and creative process.

Self-portraits can take on various styles and approaches, depending on your intentions and techniques. In this workshop, we will be focusing on the abstract, gestural, loose, intuitive, and surrealist side of capturing our likenesses (or un-likenesses!) Working on canvas and paper, we will employ an array of wet and dry media.

• A brief slideshow presented at the beginning of class will give you some history and insight into the wide world of the self-portrait. 
• All are welcome to attend and no art-making experience is necessary. 
• Aprons, gloves, and all materials/tools/supplies will be provided.
• Each attendee will take home multiple works of art, along with the know-how and inspiration to continue making on their own.
