Frida Kahlo once stated, "I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to better." In this class, we will explore within ourselves to translate onto canvas a version of our identity based on significant life events, experiences, and memories. Previous painting experience is beneficial but not necessary. Bring your acrylic paints and your favorite brushes. The 16 x 20" canvas will be supplied. If you don't have paints, a $14 supply fee can be paid to the instructor for paints for this class.
