SUMMARY:SELF-PORTRAITURE ABSTRACTED with Amy Conway
DESCRIPTION:Open to all levels\, Age 16+\nAll supplies provided\n\nThis one-day workshop will focus on self-portraiture\, in its broadest sense\, as a means of reflection and transformation. Moving beyond traditional self-portraiture\, the goal of this workshop is to delve deeper — exploring the masks that society conditions us to wear\, revealing aspects of ourselves we’ve kept hidden. \nThe workshop will begin with a presentation highlighting artists who explored these themes\, providing context and inspiration. Participants then will be guided by prompts to explore the process of self-expression through art-making practices in charcoal\, watercolor\, pastel\, mirrors\, and other unique materials. Come with a curiosity to look beyond the surface. No drawing experience is necessary. \nInstructor: Amy Conway
