Creative Portraits for 7 to 10 Year Olds Online Short Course

Course description

In this course we will spend three sessions experimenting with drawing and cut and paste collage using images from magazines, newspapers, coloured paper, old envelopes and a paper bag to create different versions of ourselves through collage and drawing. There will be a series of playful exercises to help you learn about line, composition, juxtaposition and layering. You will creatively explore your identity, creating both real and imagined portraits of yourself and your family

We will look to artists Pablo Picasso, Hannah Hoch, John Stezaker and Ivan Chermayeff to get inspiration for your own series of creative portraits.
