Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older.In this new workshop series, participants will learn about the many facets of portraiture, and their contrast between internal and external representations of the self, while touring artworks from MCASD's collection and new special exhibition, For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability.Every exploration of artwork – whether figurative or abstract, metaphorical or literal, or humorous or severe – examines the compositional and storytelling qualities of portraits and their power to communicate a message. Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary artmaking techniques and materials, including acrylic paint, colored pencil, and assemblage.No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided if required. Registration gives participants access to the full series (eight days).Session Dates:Session dates in this series are:Session 1: Friday, August 23 and Friday, August 30Session 2: Friday, September 13 and Friday, September 20Session 3: Friday, September 27 and Friday, October 4Session 4: Friday, October 11 and Friday, October 25Daily Program:10 a.m.: Gallery DiscussionThe conversations around the artworks in MCASD’s collection will offer stimulating input and prompts for participants as they think about creating their own artworks.10:30 a.m.: Coffee and MingleRefreshments and time for social interaction will take place in Museum venues that take full advantage of the beautiful oceanside location and views.11 a.m.: Art-Making ActivityThe hands-on workshop will provide a forum for self-expression and developing new interpersonal connections.Weekly Program:Session 1: Create a non-traditional self-portraitFor this project, the figure’s back will be facing the viewer, relying on a silhouette and its surroundings rather than a face. We will draw inspiration from Tidawhitney Lek’s The Intersection (2023), which offers an intersection of two worlds, Cambodia and California; Shizu Saldamando’s Joe at the Venice Room (2020); and John Valadez’s Car Show (2001), which highlights the relatable qualities of everyday people.Session 2: Create a portrait in the style of an album coverExplore alter egos! Consider the presentation of self through Mario Ayala’s Rancho Cucamonga (2022) and its trompe-l'oeil realism and Gillian Wearing’s Wallpaper (2015), where she transforms herself into multiple personas.Session 3: Create a transformative portrait of a friend or family memberIn this session, enter an uncanny world in La Marcha de las Langostas (1998) by Daniela Gallois and her whimsical, dreamlike creatures. Additionally, we will examine two of Joey Terrill’s works – Jeff, Victor, Luiz and George (1992–1993), which highlights a hyper-realistic portrayal of his friends, and Still Life with Zerit (2000), which uses autobiographical objects to share aspects of his identity.Session 4: Representations of the human form stylized in different waysWe will take inspiration from Beverly Buchanan’s Medicine Woman (1993) and analyze the many pieces that create the whole in her assemblage artwork. We will also take inspiration from Lynn Hershman Leeson’s X-Ray Woman in Bathing Cap (1996), a simultaneous portrayal of the internal and external female form. FundersReflections is generously supported by E.A.

Curated by: Yvette Roman and Natalia Ventura Cuéntame is an Far South, Border North campaign created by Yvette Roman and natalia ventura. The campaign aims to strengthen borderlands consciousness through intergenerational relationship-building, storytelling, and art-making. For our final exhibition we intend to display artwork, documentation and audio captured throughout 2023-2024. As a collective, Cuéntame invited emerging artists from San Diego and Tijuana to collaborate on an exhibition capturing the oral history of elders in our San Ysidro community living at Villa Merced. Nine emerging artists will display artwork at The Front Arte y Cultura. Six of the artists were selected through a call for entry, one is our Cuentame intern, and two are FS/BN grantees.Dates:Opening Reception: 5-7 p.m. June 1 Elder Brunch: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. June 6Closing Reception: 6-8 p.m. June 7Artist’s Statement: Yvette and natalia created Cuéntame as a way to honor the labor and legacy of elders in their San Diego border communities. Cuéntame is a community project that uses art as a method for capturing, archiving, and telling the stories of elders. The project aims to build generational bonds, pass on generational wisdom, strengthen a sense of belonging, and create meaningful opportunities for artists in our border community. Our hope is that the relationship formed between the artists, elders, and viewers in this process contributes to a stronger borderlands consciousness in each generation, and ultimately a more empowered border community.Related links:The Front Arte & Cultura website | Instagram | Facebook
