Painted Selfies | Ages 7-9

Concept and Experience

In this workshop, students develop their skills in drawing and painting as they create a series of realistic and expressive self-portraits. Techniques for drawing accurate proportions and facial features are introduced and practiced, as well as the basics of painting with watercolor and tempera. Master self-portrait works of Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Meg Lionel Murphy, and Robert Longo provide inspiration and creative challenges throughout the week.
