Teacher Workshop: What Does a Hero Look Like? Making Meaningful Portraits

with Twyla Kitts, VMFA Teacher Workshop Educator and Rebecca Field, Art Teacher, Douglas Freeman High School.

Thurs, March 8, 2018
4:30-7 pm

Conference Room 1 and galleries

How do you decide who your heroes are? Why are there so many portraits of heroes from past eras? What do clothing, setting, and props tell us about a hero portrayed in a portrait? Do these portraits always look like the subject? What is a memory portrait? Participate in discussions about how to analyze portraits, related gallery quests, and small-group idea sharing before choosing from a variety of media to create your own hero portrait. Presented by Twyla Kitts, VMFA Teacher Workshop Educator and Rebecca Field, Art Teacher, Douglas Freeman High School.
