In a second project, students will experiment with charcoal, paint, oil pastels, stencils, and 3D elements to build a dynamic portrait on canvas. This class encourages personal expression, creative exploration, and hands-on skill-building—resulting in one-of-a-kind artworks that are as bold and unique as the artists themselves.
