DRAWING/PAINTING – SUMMER SESSION 6
July 28-August 9, 2024 (11 STUDIO DAYS)
Michael Dixon
Storytelling as Identity: Process, Performance, and Paint

The self-portrait has a long and rich history. In this session, students will create a series of self-portraits using contemporary methods of oil painting. With a focus on drawing and painting from observation, we will cover basic drawing techniques, drawing the figure and the face, composition, color theory, and mixing color. We will also play with performance as a method of creating images and use these images to think about concept and storytelling. All levels.
