participants will make a self-portrait piece to represent and define their <br />identity, ideas, and their beliefs. This project can go from the very realistic <br />to the wildly abstract. Participants are encouraged to use pictorial elements <br />instead of words or any writing. <br />Methodology <br />Two days of hands-on work art sessions. <br />Session 1: <br />Segment a: Presentation and Introduction to the project (slide show <br />presentation) and sketching. <br />Segment b: Composition, Collage, and Underpainting. <br />Session 2: <br />Segment a: Painting session, texture application, <br />Segment b: Finishing and final class presentation. <br />Note: I started discussing displaying the artworks in the ArtsCenter <br />student's gallery, which must be confirmed and coordinated. <br />Community Impact Making art education accessible to people—in my proposal, the youth <br />demographic—is a powerful public component because attendees become <br />direct participants in creating art objects rather than passive observers. Art <br />classes and high-quality supplies are not affordable, so higher costs are a <br />limitation for young people who want to make art. For this reason, a free <br />workshop that includes art supplies will help alleviate their family's <br />economics. The workshop will have up to fifteen participants for the best <br />teaching results and personalized arts and crafts orientation. I hope that <br />young participants will connect with the experience of making art, and this <br />workshop the beginning of their artistic journey, and that success will have <br />a meaningful impact not only on their lives but on the people that will <br />interact with their future art endeavors. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: FDF255EC-F9F0-40CB-B26F-47181F218BA2
