I AM Self Portraits

Jaime Lyon

The “I AM self portrait” workshop is a visual and language workshop that will allow students to explore their true selves. Self-portraits and descriptive words (for example I AM strong, I AM happy, I AM afraid) will be used to create an artistic portrayal of the student. We will review and explore historical and current self-portraiture, using art to build self-confidence and learn tools to increase esteem.

 

"The students were actively engaged throughout the presentation. Ms. Lyon was able to turn even the most reluctant student into an artist! Her techniques were easy to follow and very age appropriate. In a short amount of time Ms. Lyon exposed the students to the Mona Lisa, drawing techniques, and adjectives...truly a multi-disciplinary experience. Her enthusiasm is contagious!"
