The Process: 3/25-5/14 6:00pm-8:00pm
Objective: Finding your voice, solidifying your process, creating visual stories, choosing your colors, and creat-ing competition worthy pieces.
Theme: Expressive Portraiture
Come prepared to learn the foundational elements of portraiture including the 2 traditional palettes. Christine will then guide you through giving your portrait a twist, completing either a traditional portrait or an expressionistic portrait with creative expressive poses or use of color.
Color theory and color psychology will be taught to not only paint the portrait but also reveal their personality visually. You will leave the class session with a great portfolio piece.
Not interested in portraiture? Join us anyway as the beauty of painting the portrait helps our understanding of values, color nuances, and refines our drawing skills. It's sure to be a fun exploration class and a GREAT portfolio builder. Space is limited so sign up today. :D

This class is for AP Portfolio students, those wanting to major in art in college, adults or teens who want to pursue art careers or an artist who would like to be part of an intensive art program that focuses on skill building. I work alongside my students to strengthen their weaknesses, draw out their strengths, and build the best portfolio for submissions to colleges, scholarships, shows, and competitions. I have a unique way of helping students tap into their creativity and strengthen and create unique pieces that have a cohesive voice.
To be considered, the student must submit a letter/email of interest along with a portfolio including 5 pieces with an artist statement. Please do not hesitate to contact Christine for additional information or to answer questions.
