Week 1: Abstract Portraits

Program Description:

Week 1 will have the main focus on creating a safe and brave space where all youth are encouraged to share their thoughts, passions, and emotions while also learning how to build a community where we are able to co-create and learn together. This week, we will dive into a portrait activity where youth will explore abstract techniques while drawing portraits of other youth in the space in short increments. The goal is to push youth outside of their comfort zone and get comfortable with how art is produced and observed, learning that all art is beautiful and welcome in the space, and it doesn’t need to be perfect.
