Kids’ Art Workshop: Self-Portraits Inspired by the Masters
FREE DROP-IN WORKSHOP!
Saturday, November 15 | 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
VALA Art Center, 8020 161st Ave NE #104, Redmond, WA 98052
As part of VALA’s Kids’ Self-Portraits Exhibition, young artists are invited to explore identity and imagination through a hands-on mixed media workshop.
We’ll take inspiration from famous self-portraits throughout art history, discovering how artists expressed who they are—and how we can do the same.
Children will experiment with color, line, and expression to make portraits that reflect their inner world.
All materials provided. Parent supervision required. Drop-in participation welcome!
NOTE: Adults are welcome to sit and draw if they wish!
