How we see ourselves influences our perspectives, our decisions and the daily experience of living. Artists create tangible evidence of their process of reflection through self-portraits. By observing how luminaries from Rembrandt to Picasso represent themselves, we will explore a variety of artist’s personal statements, historical moments and technical approaches. Discussion includes self perception as related to images students may create of themselves as a follow up or precursor to the program
