Explore the history of portraiture, complete drawing exercises 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.

  • This course is designed for students to use whatever art materials are at hand. For the best experience it will require that they listen to podcasts, or videos provided by the instructor and pursue the work begun during class time between sessions. The class run 10-12 and 2-4 with a break between 12-2. Amie Oliver's classes and workshops include a weekly email which informs and enriches the content of her curriculum. In addition, feedback and help regarding creative work produces during these sessions is enhances when participants photograph their work-in-progress and share it with the instructor using a free cloud based platform such as flickr or google drive.

    Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible.
