Digital Drink + Draw: Portraits

Unwind and find inspiration in self-taught art! Drink, draw, and connect virtually with AFAM Education staff and other creatives. 

How do we look at ourselves? How do we look at one another? Historically, portraits have been understood as a balance between an idealized and an accurate likeness of an individual. Learn how self-taught artists, such as Mose Tolliver and Emily Eastman, have rendered different charactersfrom friends to themselvesin this session led by AFAM educator and artist Natalie Beall. Prompts for looking and drawing will be shared throughout the evening, and participants will be invited to share their work.
