Portraits of Pets, People and Other Things…

CHILDREN (Ages 6-10)

How do we portray the people and pets that we love? What makes for a good portrait?

We will dive into our portrait projects with a multimedia image of our favorite pet using color copies, paint and markers. Jean Michel Basquiat, a superstar painter from the 1980s will provide us with inspiration.

Other projects will include a full-length self-portrait based on a special memory, and a portrait painted on shaped wood, inspired by the earliest known portraits from ancient Egypt.
