    Adults - Ages 18+

    Artists have long turned to self-portraiture as a way to master their craft or to document moments of personal insight—creating visual diaries of who they are, or who they’re becoming. In this workshop, artist Jennifer Tobias invites you to set aside self-consciousness and explore the expressive world of the abstracted self-portrait.

    We’ll begin with a look at iconic self-portraits by master painters—from Rembrandt to Hockney—and then dive into hands-on exercises using mirrors, cameras, and basic shapes to build the foundation of a likeness. From there, you'll experiment with color, line, and form to push past realism and create expressive, abstracted portraits that may capture a moment in time, an inner emotion, a burst of energy, or a new self-discovery.

    This class is about play, exploration, and finding your own voice through the lens of the self. All levels are welcome.

    All materials are included in the tuition. A half-hour break for lunch will be provided.
