Saturday, September 14th from 10-2:30 PM
COURSE DECRIPTION

He famously said: “If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” Join us as we get out of our heads and into our hearts for inspiration and whimsy, led by Master Chagall’s example.

Frida Kahlo, Duende and the Self Portrait
Saturday, Oct. 19th, 2024 10AM-2:30
COURSE DECRIPTION
Frida Kahlo Calderon (July1907 to July1954) was a Mexican magical realist. Her paintings have strong and unflinching autobiographical and symbolic content. Of her 143 known paintings 55 were self-portraits, often with animals. This one-day workshop is for painters who are interested in exploring the possibilities of portraiture mixed with a healthy dose symbolism. If you don’t have the skills for accurate portraiture consider using some collage elements. We will discuss composition, color mixing and the concepts of Power Animals, Duende and Magical Realism. Class size limited to 9 participants. Please see materials list.
