Explore the history of portraiture, complete drawing excercises with a focus on experimentation and create your own mixed-media portrait. We'll begin the weekend by exploring 20th and 21st century experimental portraiture including the work of Picasso, Giacometti, Cocteau and move forward in time. You'll create a series of mixed media exercises on paper in a journal or sketchbook which will be the catalyst for creating a larger mixed-media portrait. This portrait can utilize whatever materials each participant has access to at home including water-based media, paper, markers, photography and found objects.
