Reflections is an art-making workshop series designed to serve adults 55 and older. In the sessions on September 1 and 15, participants will dissect the many facets of portraiture and the contrast between internal and external representations of the self while touring artworks from MCASD's collection. Whether viewing artworks that are figurative or abstract, metaphorical or literal, humorous or severe, each exploration will examine the compositional and storytelling qualities of portraits and their power to communicate a message. In the artmaking portion of the sessions, participants will put lessons into practice by creating portraits of many subjects, such as: • A beloved • Someone admired • A group of friends • Family member • Co-workers • The self In the workshop series from October 6 through December 1, participants will explore how the body is integrated into contemporary art. Through close looking we will engage with artworks where the body is present, and others where it is invoked by its notable absence. As participants delve into the concepts tied to interpretations of the human form they will consider and learn: • How scale impacts the viewer • How the body is used as a tool for labor • How artists engage the senses in a hands-off contemporary arts environment • How body is present through absence Each workshop will include an investigation of contemporary artmaking techniques and materials. No prior art experience is required. Transportation will be provided, if required. Participants may join one session (two days) or the full series (four sessions; eight days).
