    • Create unique three-dimensional forms in all shapes and sizes! By starting with everyday found objects as the base, participants will carefully disguise each object with a tactile shell made from wrappings of colorful yarn and cloth. These new sculptures will be unveiled for friends and family at an art show at the end of the week.

    • Who inspires you? How do you capture identity through art? In this Workshop, we’ll explore the dynamic art of portrait photography by looking at Mickalene Thomas’s powerful images of friends and muses. Students will learn composition and staging techniques, as well as the importance of narrative and storytelling when setting a scene.
