THE PROCESS & ART PRACTICES
For centuries, artists have used their own image as model for painting. Inspired by the Renaissance painters and contemporary artists, this 3-session workshop examines the art of self-portraiture and puts into practice techniques to creating expressive self-portraits.
The class begins with an instructor-led tour of the local museums in New York City to view works from an artist’s perspective, examine techniques, and answer student’s questions.
Back in the studio, painting demonstrations and individual instruction enable students put into practice methods observed and create their own masterpiece. The objective of the class is to learn skills that eat student can use in their own work..
