Fun and funky self-portraits.
Using each child's own image, young artists will create an illustrated version of themselves. The final illustration will include detailed design areas and origami paper decoupage to produce a beautiful self- portrait. We will also design a 3D embossed, heraldic family shield using family favourite icons.

Ages 10-14 years 4.30pm-6pm

A sophisticated version of our younger class, using personal emblems to create a flowing, illustrated self-portrait. Students will apply gold-leaf embellishments to enhance the effect. We will also create illuminated lettering initials, using ancient techniques and gold leaf to finish each personal design.
Saturdays
Ages 14+ Art & Portfolio Development 10am-12pm
with Kristel Bodenseik
Combining books with art we will delve into stories and use actual books to create a book sculpture that physically represents each students chosen work. This course will include working sketches, detailed designs and an imaginative finished sculpture.
