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 30 Session 2: Friday, September 13 and Friday, September 20 Session 3: Friday, September 27 and Friday, October 4 Session 4: Friday, October 11 and Friday, October 25 Daily Program: 10 a.m.: Gallery Discussion The 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 Mingle Refreshments 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 Activity The hands-on workshop will provide a forum for self-expression and developing new interpersonal connections. Weekly Program: Session 1: Create a non-traditional self-portrait For 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 cover Explore 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 member In 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 ways We 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.  Funders Reflections is generously supported by E.A.

Reflecting on a transformative residency program, the jazz vocalist now nominated for her first Grammy Award says her album Journey in Black reflects "the expansiveness of the Black experience."

On Friday, September 27, join us at the charming Normal Heights United Church for a spectacular evening of original music in the round featuring Shua, We the Commas, and Lauren Ong. Hosted by the legendary Jeff Berkley. ABOUT THE ARTISTS: Lauren Ong blends genres with poetic lyrics and intricate arrangements, using music as a tool for self-discovery and connection. Trained as a harpist from age 6, she found her voice in songwriting to express emotions and tell stories beyond words. Her debut garnered over 500,000 Spotify streams, and her first album, "hillcrest," released in July 2023, opened doors to performances worldwide. After making her mark in the Singapore music scene, she is now based in San Diego, where she’s actively engaging with the local creative scene, including shows with Sofar Sounds. We The Commas is an emerging band from Southern California, made up of three brothers: Lenny, Jordy, and Cam. Growing up in a music-loving household in Carlsbad, the brothers naturally gravitated toward harmonies and instruments, shaping their unique alt-surf R&B sound. Inspired by legends like Bob Marley, John Mayer, and The Beach Boys, they blend beach culture with soulful melodies, bringing a fresh perspective to their hometown's vibe. Boasting collaborations with top producers like Rex Kudo and Charlie Handsome, We the Commas is poised to make waves in the music scene. Shua is a Southern California artist creating songs that explore heartbreak, hope, and the human experience. As a husband, father, and a follower of Jesus, he makes "companions to the soul" for those navigating loneliness. Music and art helped him find his way through life's fog, and he now creates to offer that same comfort to others.
