This is a workshop combining traditional hands-on art making
and new media technology to encourage the participants to explore and present “self-portrait.”
Self-portrait is one of the most profound subjects of art making,
and is a creative exploration of self- knowledge and identity. In this 9-week long workshop the participants will learn the ideas of self-portrait through seminar discussions, hands-on art making classes and the introduction of new media technology. The instructor will begin the workshop by discussing the idea of “selfies” and involve guest speakers as well as off-site visits to broaden the participants’ perspective.
By the end of the workshop the participants will develop and create their own self-portrait projects.
