UC Portraits Across Media for Teens & Adults

Learn to draw and paint faces with confidence! From pencils and pastels, to watercolors and digital painting, this class gives artists the chance to practice portraiture using a variety of mediums. Throughout the term of the class, students will improve essential skills such as understanding proportion, using color and value to capture light/create depth, and experimenting with different mark-making techniques to bring their portraits to life. 

Perfect for beginners or those looking to refine their portrait skills, "Portraits Across Media"  is all about exploring new techniques and strengthening observational art skills. 

This portrait class is for students ages 12+. Those who register should have a strong interest in drawing & painting people, but do not need to be highly experienced. Our work time will be intensive and the class period will go by quickly. Students should be engaged in their projects, and able to maintain a focused environment during work time.

This class is taught in English.

We will NOT have class the week of Thanksgiving.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
