LINE DRAWING PORTRAIT

Artist: Vicky Wang

Thursday, February 13 at 7pm

Join Vicky for an engaging workshop exploring the art of reflection through blind contour drawing exercises. Guided by the theme of mirrors, participants will discover how this intuitive art style helps us see ourselves and our communities in a new light. Together, we’ll explore our perception through bold lines and celebrate our uniqueness and stories, as we create meaningful, expressive art portraits. 

This workshop will take place on February 13, at 7 p.m. at The Jamii Hub.

SELF-REFLECTION THROUGH CARD MAKING

Artist: Danika Lorèn

Thursday, February 20 at 7pm

A mirror allows us to see ourselves literally, and this workshop is all about how visual art can act as a metaphorical mirror, revealing the unseen parts of ourselves. Together, we will explore art as a medium for self-reflection using a combination of self-portraiture, collage, and intention-setting.

Participants will create a three-part card as a creative reflection tool. On the front, we will make self-portraits—either drawn or collaged—focusing on our outer selves without using any words. Inside the card, participants can choose one of several reflective exercises: writing a letter to themselves, making birthday wishes for their future selves, or crafting a mood-board forecast of their hopes for the year ahead. Finally, on the back of the card, we’ll draw or write something we want to leave behind or shed as we move into our next chapter.

This workshop is as much about what we are creating as it is about how we approach creative philosophy, and how we can learn about ourselves through observing our own creative instincts. 

This workshop will take place on February 20, at 7 p.m. at The Jamii Hub.
