One of the many new offerings in our Summer Brochure is the Self Portraiture Series. This series features a variety of classes, each focusing on a different style and/or medium of self portrait creation.
From Pop Art to representational, each class is designed for any level of student to leave the class with their very own self portrait. Students will have the opportunity to submit their work for our Self Portrait Show in November. They can use their work from the class, or take the classes to inspire their own vision of a self portrait.
Our first class of the series was the Andy Warhol Inspired Self Portrait. In this class, students began by creating a monochromatic value scale, and then using that value scale to paint a photographic image of themselves that they had transferred onto canvas. Students could then add a quote, á la Warhol, or leave their painting as is. Take a look, they all turned out GREAT!
Look for more to come on our Self Portraiture Series, and watch for the exhibit in November. To see the other Self Portrait classes we are offering, check out our brochure at
