Pictures of People: The Art of the Portrait

Ages 7 - 10 yrs

Description

"Nothing in a portrait is a matter of indifference. Gesture, grimace, clothing, decor even – all must combine to realize a character." - Charles Baudelaire

During this 10 week class we'll dive into the art of portraiture. What is a portrait? What does it show? What details can we depict to show the essence of a person? How can we create them with different mediums? This course was inspired by the powerful presidential portraits of the Obamas, so we'll start there. We'll analyze the "gesture, grimace, clothing, and decor" of these images in addition to others and use our conversation as a catalyst to create portraits of ourselves and portraits of others through photography, drawing and painting, collage, and clay.

Extra $35 material fee for disposable camera and film developing.


Notes:

Cancellation Policy:

If you need to cancel (prior to the 30 days before your start date), we will refund the full amount minus a $50 non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made within 30 days of the camp start date are nonrefundable. In the event that we need to cancel camp for safety reasons, we will remit a full credit applicable to any Oh! Canary offering/ product.

There will be no refunds or credits given for missed classes due to a child being sick, due to an Oh! Canary teacher being sick and cancelling class, or for the studio closing for any reason. In the case that closing the studio for an extended period of time is the safest option for our community we will offer families virtual live or asynchronous experiences in lieu of studio classes.

You may notice an increase in class fees which help with our smaller class sizes and extra cleaning costs.
