Discovering the Self: Exploration in Self-Portraiture Part 2
6- Week Sessions | Artistree Community Art Center, South Pomfret, VT
In Part 2 of Discovering the Self, we explore the many facets of self-portraiture by examining our presence, emotion, word, and more. We will explore a single self-portrait, from miniature studies to larger scale painting, working in layers, using a mix of techniques and mediums. We’ll find inspiration through contemplation and delving further into defining the self with primary materials, such as journals, torn book pages, personal clothing, objects of meaning, hidden or exposed in our painting.
