Self-portraits can be more than just an artwork of physical likeness, they can also tell a story, express ideas and include the artist's favorite things. Throughout the workshops, participants will be introduced to various techniques and design concepts.Collage-making teaches a variety of skills including fine motor skills, creativity and self-expression, composition and design principles, spatial awareness and critical thinking while fostering an appreciation for different textures, colors, shapes, and materials.Self-portraits will allow each participant to not only better understand themselves but to also share and showcase their unique attributes, talents and personalities and overall bring out the artist in themselves.
