Drawing Nature, Drawing Ourselves

Join Arts + Literature Laboratory for an afternoon of illustration and self reflection! Artists will be invited to represent themself through a self portrait using abstraction and/or realistic rendering as they feel inspired; expect drawing from life, drawing from plant reference materials, garden meditation, mixed media materials play, and conversation in this relaxed workshop. All "skill" levels are welcome! This is a playful opportunity to create a self portrait inspired by our natural world.

EVENT ENROLLMENT DETAILS:

This is an (almost) all ages workshop for youth as young as five years and adults of all ages! Space is limited, so be sure to enroll each participant individually to ensure that there is space. (Guardians who intend to stick around should also enroll.) Participants should arrive with the understanding that this is an intergenerational workshop centering gentle instruction for all ages.

This is an IN-PERSON, OUTDOOR workshop for kids and adults. This workshop will be held outside Arts + Literature Laboratory (111 S Livingston St) and is limited to ten participants, so expect an intimate and flexible learning atmosphere.
